My window frames aren't very conducive to the tape, since the molding is kind of a discontinuous pattern that makes it difficult to apply. Plus the venetian blinds make it a big pain too.

Reduce the humidity and open the blinds.
We have a circulation fan that pretty much does the trick, plus obvious things like having the fan on in the bathroom when you shower.

Unless the temp is high enough that is brings the temp of the window panes above the dew point, I can't see it helping much.
If you can't keep the humidity down, then I am guessing you would need to look at windows with a better R rating, but I have zero idea if that would be enough to have a serious impact.
