Activate aero glass on Windows 8?

Original title: Aero Glass

enable aero glass in windows 8?

To add to this, I think that there should be an option to restore, with the default opacity does nothing to affect the performance of the system.  Solid slabs of color can be a little awkward and the effects Aero 7 made chrome much less intrusive user interface.  Darkening of the color palette doesn't help, because it makes some much stronger colors and the text of the user interface is made more difficult to read.  Desaturate the colours too would also make more difficult to differentiate between active and inactive windows.

As the taskbar is transparent, it would be certainly possible to do the same thing for the title bars and also include adjustable opacity levels.

  • Activation aero glass: receive Windows Vista Windows 7 guests

    Hello

    I wonder... Anyone who succeeds to activate aero on Windows Vista (guest) on the Windows 7 host?

    Thanks for the replies

    You cannot enable aero as it requires directx 10, and VMware currently only supports dx9 shader model 2.

    (But not tried it myself), I heard that there is a work around to your guest on a host remote desktop connection capable aero.

    As your host is probably able aero... That's what you could try...

  • Windows 7 Aero / Glass no effect no more working time

    My computer is Windows XP on your main HARD drive. I added another HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit), the feature in question worked but I had problems with fuzzy texts and also I can not set the resolution recommended for my monitor.

    I downloaded and installed the drivers for my monitor from the manufacturer's website but since it does not solve the blurred fonts, I tried to find the latest drivers for my card through the Device Manager. I noticed that the version of the driver was older (Date of the driver in the course of 2009) that is used by the computer when I boot it Windows XP (driver of 2010). Even if I tried to update, it says that he already has the latest driver for it. I managed to save the display drivers XP uses and updated Windows 7 with her ("disk," method etc.) and I finally got the resolution which is best for my monitor that makes fonts very sharp and any other clear enough. I then installed the ATI Catalyst Control Center (was struggling so he can install properly - missing. INF file, CCC not launch, etc.) but I managed to make it work in the end.

    Unfortunately, I lost Aero / glass effect. Troubleshooting (made sure advanced option 'Applies automatically repairs' is checked) gives me the "current video card can support Aero with a driver that is compatible with the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM).  Contact the manufacturer of your video card or computer for a WDDM compatible driver. "message and finally the error 'Video card driver doesn't support Aero effects. "I thought it's because the drivers of Windows XP was not intended for Windows 7 I so uninstalled and returned to the former working driver, uninstalled ATI Catalyst Control Center (cleaned all the remains) and reinstalled it but ATI does not find the. INF file so it can't update the drivers. Then, I just reinstalled Windows XP drivers.

    Here are some details:

    (After updating the graphics card with the XP ones)

    Adapter type: ATI Radeon X 300/X 550/X 1050 Series

    Driver date: 10/02/2010

    Driver version: 8.593.100.0

    Before I updated with drivers that Windows XP uses now, I remember when Aero was still working (but the resolution is bad), the Date of the driver was some time in 2009.  I read about the update of Windows KB2670838 and discovered that I had installed so I uninstalled it but Windows 7 cannot always bring Aero without it. I don't understand why Aero works with a previous version of a driver but not later.

    Has anyone met and discovered how fix this problem without having to reinstall the operating system? Or should I really give up Aero and settle for the appropriate monitor resolution?

    Thank you!

    Uninstall the current driver.

    Then download from the ATI site: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download on your hard drive.

    Then install.

    (Latest version of the driver is 10.2)

  • Resize the volume & Aero Glass on Vista

    I recently bought a MacBook and installed Windows Vista Ultimate on it using VMware Fusion 2. For some reason, he chose to give Windows a volume of 40 GB, which I felt was too small, but I couldn't change it. I used the settings of the Virtual Machine and has increased the size of the volume to 60 GB, and she seemed to accept but did nothing major that I clicked OK. When I have botted Windows, he always says the volume was 40 GB. How can I increase the size of the volume to 60 GB? If I've touched 40 GB, it will add a new 2 GB to the volume I have the possibility to use 2 GB files (rather than 1 large file) selected?

    Also, can I the Aero Glass interface work?

    Once you extend the vmdk file to size, you can go to disk management, and you can extend the disk to the new size.  Regarding the Aero, vista looks like the video card and usually decides whether she can handle the stress of the experience.  I know they have upped the virtual video card to manage several games and others, but I don't know if it is powerful enough to run aero.

    Any help here please?

    Hi mate

    The Toshiba pre-installed Vista OS has already been activated.

    AFAIK if you upgraded the operating system Vista to Win 7 using the Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade kit then a Win 7 must be already activated and does not need to be enabled separately

  • Strange WARNING I need to Suspect 'Activate my copy of Windows' is a virus comeon. Has anyone ever received it?

    When I started my computer there was a warning that I have "activate this copy of Windows. I am wary because my copy of Windows has been activated when installing several years ago. The screen that told me this does not appear be an authentic window Ms. It's rather ordinary. I refused and my regular desktop came.  I do not want to release a virus. Windows does this from time to time. I checked the regular update of Windows, and he told me the same thing. I need to install Active X again. I'm still hesitant. Has anyone ever had this warning from Windows? It is authentic.

  • Problem of Activation of Vista, error msg: you need to activate this version of Windows.

    Original title: Activation of Vista problem...

    I have a version legally obtained from Microsoft Vista that I've been running on my laptop. Recently I had a few problems with the battery and have decided to withdraw from the laptop before complete failure and virtualize on another machine. While I've been running the virtual machine for some time without problem, I recently ran in the form of horse "activate this version of Windows. My attempts to authenticate my version of Vista were not successful and clicking on the 'buy a new online product key' send me a useless part of Windows 8 to the Microsoft site. Interestingly, I was able to authenticate my copy of Microsoft Office on the virtual machine.

    I have IMPOSSIBLE upgrade to Windows 7 or 8, and must be able to continue to run Vista (or XP/ME/98) with some mission critical internal software. I'm happy to buy another license for Vista, however, it seems impossible. Without the ability to replace the laptop battery, upgraded the laptop or upgrade of the software to work with Windows 7/8, I have to find a way to authenticate this license of Vista in the virtual environment.
    Please, Please help. I don't want to have an "unauthorized" copying of Windows on my machine.
    Kind regards
    Matthew.
    P.S. I already have a copy of Windows 7 running and a large part of mission critical functionality is broken under this version of Windows.

    Thanks Noel.

    I did a little more digging into the problem following your advice and that of the original notebook computer manufacturer. It seems that the copy of Vista that I was sold with the laptop is an edition OEM who cannot be virtualized in this way, and therefore the problem with activation.
    So it seems that I have two choices, (1) try and find a replacement laptop that comes with Vista (unlikely) or (2) buy another copy of Vista (full version this time) through Microsoft (if possible).
    The only other option after that must pay my original developers an extreme amount for re - write the software for a Mac/PC/Tablet platform to date. I know that I'll need to do afterwards, because of the nature of something to do with computers (i.e. nothing left hard or constant for decades), but as with any business, I can't keep bleeding of money on perpetual upgrades. This is especially true when the only reason for the upgrade seems to be that the software is ' is no longer supported "rather than because it no longer meets our needs.
    Once again, many Christmas thanks for your help anyway. Do you by chance know if there is a way to buy a new key license through Microsoft?
    Kind regards
    Matthew.
  • My recycling bin icons fail to activate properly / affected by windows mail

    After 2 years works perfectly, my full/empty trash registered only now activate (on my desktop) after that I have enter or exit Windows Mail.

    IBC works normally otherwise. Only the change of icon does not have at the time. I have all of the default settings.

    Added; the bin function is normal. Bin, the bin or empty bin icon status does not change according to the condition of bin.

    If I empty the tray, the icon is complete. Then becomes later empty. (usually when I go into Windows mail)

    Suggested fix has not been set. Thank you

    > my only registered full/empty trash now activate (on my desktop) after I enter or exit Windows Mail

    > Only the icon change does not meet the time

    I'm sorry.

    None of the above 2 phrases doesn't make sense to me.

    > my recycle bin icons fail to activate properly / affected by windows mail

    That tells us it is NOT. And why blame Windows Mail so that it does not?

    If you don't mind, please repost your question in the short, separate sentences?
    Explanation of what it fails to perform is essential.
