Windows without Aero Glass?!!

Windows without Aero Glass? its disgusting!
You know, windows 7 was successful, this means AeroGlass+Performance accepted that time, so you can’t remove aero glass by telling everyone it’s because lack of performance!
I remember MS-Dos text mode applications like ‘Norton Commander’, ‘Norton Utilities’, ‘Dos Navigator’ and much more, presenting solid graphics (simple solid color as background, and white text in the front, using (some times) some characters as icons and
smooth animations for dialogs. – I remember ansi.sys as well!)
Windows 8 and 8.1 has the same graphics, same as DOS! except the solid background, which replaced by a gradient.
This is not satisfying, not at all specially when we have a complete set of eye-catching effects like ‘Shine’, ‘Shadow’, ‘Bevel’, etc. in windows 7.
Even in windows 95, 98 and XP, I used to change skins and themes with skinning softwares (like Windowblinds).
You can’t expect everybody to like windows 10 UI no matter its on Tablet, Desktop or some gadget…

  • Firefox 3.6.4 will constantly set window to aero basic interface, rather than aero glass, in Windows 7

    Since updating to the most recent Firefox 3.6.4 I have noticed that it will sporadically set the windows interface to the aero basic rather than the aero glass interface I have my Windows 7 set up in (and in which Firefox itself opens). To clarify, the browser opens with the window frame as aero glass, but over the course of ten minutes or so of browsing, I will look up and notice it has reverted to basic. I have not been able to determine what happens when it shifts, or if it is a specific add-on (but I have been deleting or disabling any add-on I think might be causing it). Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a known problem? Any work arounds?
    Thanks!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After 3.6.4 update

    I've seen this problem too, in the meantime. I've found that if I disable Shockwave Flash, the problem disappears. Of course, it also means I can't see Flash objects in the web. I've already contacted Adobe about this, but they haven't replied yet. In any case, it does seem to happen when we put Firefox under particular load with Flash objects.

  • Finally Got Aero Glass Back in Win 8.1

    Now released for Windows 8.1 by a good guy who knows what many people want on their Win 8.1 desktop.  Thank God for 3rd party developers who understand what people want and need, rather than the greedy managers at Microsoft who push their
    own agendas at the customer's expense.
    The two things I like most about Aero Glass are that it makes it much easier to focus on the client area (where all the work is done), and the drop shadows help better differentiate multiple windows on the desktop.
    After having helped test the betas, I've been testing the release intensively for a week now, with zero glitches.
    It's donationware, and can be downloaded here:
    http://www.glass8.eu/
    There's an active discussion on this product here:

    It's not "adware", but it's essentially "nagware" in that it will remind you via an occasional pop-up message and a desktop watermark that you may donate to the author to support the project's ongoing development.  It may also pop up a debug logging
    window, but I think that may be able to be disabled through a registry setting.
    From what I've read in the forums, some find these "nag" reminders problematic, though when I first tried the software out early in its development cycle I found them easy to ignore.  I was concentrating on whether it really
    works - and it does. 
    By the way, you can easily test it out in a throwaway environment - for example a Virtual Machine, such as provided by VMware.  I did.
    Once you donate five or ten Euros you can get and save a "donation key" that's apparently tied to your disk drive serial number.  After doing that all the reminders are stopped - it is silent and just works beautifully.
    I find Aero Glass for Win 8.1 version 1.2.5 to be 100% stable.   My system ran 27 days straight under hard use between the last two Windows Update cycles without a problem of any kind.  The author seems keen on making it totally
    bug-free.
    By the way, it is still being developed.  The author has currently got a beta test version of a GUI configuration tool out for testing and comments.

  • CS5.02 w/MPE turns off Aero Glass

    I have a new Dell Precision T5500 workstation(X5560 CPU, 12GB Ram, PNY Quadro 4000, Win7 Ultimate 64-bit) running CS5 MC.  AE looks and works great. PPro CS5.02 loads and looks correct but, once a project has loaded with the Mercury Playback Engine(MPE) enabled, all Aero Glass effects for Window Color and Appearance get switched off.  Resulting in what looks like the default Windows 7 Basic properties and color scheme(Baby Blue with no transparency).
    PPro captures,edits and outputs fine.  And once PPro is exited, the Win7 desktop, visually, returns to my "normal" saved Theme.  While PPro is running, the Win7 Personalization page shows that my saved Theme is loaded.  Clicking it's icon to reload the settings doesn't cause any visual changes.  Selecting the Window Color icon brings up the Window Color and Appearance tool which has a message stating that Windows Aero is off, etc.
    If I remove the Quadro 4000 entry from the cuda_supported_cards.txt file, essentially disabling the hardware MPE, Aero Glass stays on while PPro runs.  Except now I have to render effects since Premiere is using the software MPE.
    The NVidia driver is from 10/16/2010( 8.17.12.5993 ).  Everything else on this machine(HW/SW) is up to date and is working great.  I haven't been able to find any mention of this anomaly here or on other CS5 or NVidia related forums.  Has anyone seen/heard of this?  Is there somebody else using the Quadro 4000 with CS5?

    Thanks, I checked out the search results of the link posted.
    I grabbed and ran Microsoft's Mats_Run.aero.exe tool.  Funny thing, even with Premiere running that tool still says there are no issues with my system.  Plus I don't get a systray message saying something to the effect of "aero is turned off" like other folks report in the MS Answers forums when things like this happen.  Anyway, like I said previously, I can live with this "feature" while I'm using PPro and so far with my hardware, my AE usage hasn't been effected.
    Thanks All,

  • "Aero" glass theme

    I really love the "Aero" glass theme that is in Windows Vista and Windows 7. I was wondering if it's possible to suggest this to a Mac OS developer or Apple? I know this is a copyright issue with Microsoft owning this trademark. But, please make this theme available in Mac OS. I love both operating systems equally, but Apple softwares, such as "Messages/iMessage", Final Cut Pro, Garageband, iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, Logic Pro, etc. make me want to switch from Windows to Mac OS. It's too bad the "Aero" is proprietary to Microsoft.
    Here is the link to the "Aero" glass theme I'm talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Aero
    Please make this feature for future releases of Mac OS. Otherwise, I'm sticking to Mountain Lion. Please write back. Thanks!

    I'm running Vista Premium (on a separate partition w/bootcamp) on my Mac Mini 1.83 with 2 GB of memory with no problem at all. Aero glass, no problem.
    Vista actually sees the GMA950 integrated graphics card as 256MB of DDR2 SDRAM, instead of 64.

  • Enable Aero Glass in battery mode

    I am using a Thinkpad W510. At the moment I have the problem, that all Aero Glass visual effects are only working if I working on the docking station. As soon as I am not connected with the docking station (it does not matter if I am on battery mode or using the power supply) all the visual effects were switched off.
    Does anyone have a clue to where I can find setting to leave the Aero Glass effects always on. I think it is somewhere hidden in the power save settings, but I haven't found it yet.
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks everyone for your help.
    After I had gone through the settings once again, I found the cause of my problems.
    So for everyone, who has the same or a similar problem, check whether you have set the color depth to 32bit. In my case it was set at 16bit, probalbly due to a power saving setting I once used.
    If this doesn't help, check out this link:

  • How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

    How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

    depend on the document program more then anything else really
    when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
    with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
    but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
    or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

  • How to open a new browser window without toolbar, location, and menu bars from AIR?

    I have the following problem in my Flex+AIR application. I need to embed an ActiveX component that has JavaScript API inside my application. I tried to embed it inside <mx:HTML> component but unfortunately, AIR doesnot support plug-ins or ActiveX controls. So I've decided to open it in a new browser window. I tried navigateToURL(...) method but it has two problems - it is opening a new tab in the existing browser window and there is no way for me to configure the new browser window appearance, like removing toolbar, menu bar, location bar, etc. Then I tried to open a new window from JavaScript running inside <mx:HTML> component using window.open(...) API but it doesn't open a new window at all.
    Is there any way for me to open a new browser window without toolbar, location bar, etc. (which will run ActiveX control, so it cannot be AIR window) from inside AIR?
    Best regards,
    Arkady.

    Is it possible to open a new browser window using JSP?a JSP page is also an HTML page, this is client side stuff, you can do it with JavaScript.

    You can create a javascript to window.open having toobar, menubar or statusbar=0. The page content can be customized per need. Call this javascript from a link or button click using javascript:popup_window();
    For example,
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    function popup_window()
    w = window.open("", "Window", "width=320,height=400,status=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0");
    w.document.write('<html><head><title>Help Window</title>');
    w.document.write('</head><body>');
    w.document.write('<div><font face="Arial" size="2">This is help page.');
    w.document.write('</font></div><p>');
    w.document.write('<div><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="javascript:window.close();">Close This Window</a></font></div><p>');
    w.document.write('</body></html>');
    </script>Ittichai

  • Hyperlink on Crystal Report: how to popup a window without menubar?

    Hyperlink on Crystal Report: how to popup a window without menubar?
    Hello Experts!
    I'm using VS2003 with Crystal Reports for VS2003.
    I need to show a popup window clicking a hyperlink text object on my crystal report.
    On the CrystalReportViewer I have set up HyperlinkTarget=_blank, and it's working fine.
    But when I click on the hyperlink and shows the popup window, how can I show the popup window without menubar, toolbar, directories, etc.
    Something like:
    window.open('../MyPage.html?id=id001" + Cad + "',null,'menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,resizable=yes,status=yes')

    Adam is correct. The closest you can get is setting the CrystalReportViewers HyperlinkTarget to _blank. It was seen as a potential security vulnerability to allow you to run scripts from a Crystal Reports. In our Enterprise product you can use a reg key called EncodeHTMLForSingleLineFieldObjects to control whether this can be turned on or off.
    Unfortunately this was never ported over to our .NET CrystalReportViewer.
    This is referenced in notes 1202803, 1219298, and 1219301.

  • Firefox asks (twice) to save and close tabs, on new open windows without tabs, when i close them.

    About one month ago, i started to receive a message box from firefox, asking if i wanted to save and close tabs, on newly open windows (and pop-ups) without any tabs open on them.
    And everytime i close the windows without tabs, firefox asks it twice...
    I did not made any changes, so i don't know why it started doing this.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How do I Link to _blank window without headers?
