Aero taskbar

Hi I was wondering as I saw him at the school where the taskbar at the bottom is transparent but the border of the windows are a solid color blue sky, how can I get the same feature on my laptop?

Thank you
Jordan :)

Hello Jordan,.

You can set all kinds of Visual effects from the Control Panel, selecting customization. Once inside, you can change various items for all tastes, including selecting classic style (aka versions XP), modification / customization of the colors to your hearts content, while maintaining the aero theme.

Make sure you just save you changes on each tab and save the entire collection (office, sound, color, screensaver) as a saved theme (with the right button of the line of the unsaved theme and it will allow you to save or delete all themes).

Who should consider if all goes well your question. Let me know if you need more specific instructions on how to make one of these steps, or if there is anything else I can do to help you.

Kind regards

  • Windows 7 Home Basic preview window does not

    I'm using Windows 7 Home Basic Edition. I used to have overview of the taskbar, but I don't know what happened, he magically turned back into a bar with a title and never change. I don't know that it is not Aero problem because my computer is not installed Aero.

    I don't have no 'turn on the composition of the office' in the box. What should I do?

    If what I suggested does not resolve your problem, please do not mark as answer.

    Most peole who come to help do not bother to open a response message.

    Here are 2 tutorials which show you want to 'turn on' Aero win 7 Home Basic Edition. They both require downloading a program of "facilitator."
    The first link is to a VERY respectable and reliable source. I vouch for its safety and feasibility.
    A 2nd, I'm not familiar with.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/53651-Aero-enable-unsupported-editions-Windows-7-a.html

    http://www.AddictiveTips.com/Windows-tips/enable-Aero-in-Windows-7-Home-Basic/

    excerpt from the 1st link:
    Your machine must still meet the minimum hardware requirements before it can run Aero.

    For the Basic Home Edition users: Aero does not mean that transparency will be activated. Only the Aero taskbar thumbnails and perhaps a few other features will be turned on by this utility. There is no way to enable transparency on Windows Edition basic family.

  • Color of taskbar of Windows 7 (no Aero)

    How can I change the color of the taskbar when the don't use no Aero? I have a powerful enough computer, but I like to pinch every bit of speed I can get to it and which includes the use only no Aero. Currently the task bar are blue but I want a simple configuration of black.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Did you know that Aero lets your computer work better than basic/classic?  In fact, to get the most speed: just disable transparency but allow Aero on.

    Aero uses your video card to store the image of all running applications.  In this way, when you move a window (or maximize a), your CPU and the application itself never even know!  In the old days (GDI Office treatment, which is used in basic/classic mode), the operating system will have to request the application of "re-draw itself every time,"that is why dragging a window around without Aero on the causes of lag and these weird trails when under heavy load.

    If you have a powerful computer with a decent graphics card, Aero will give you much better performance.  Try it, you will not be disappointed.

    (Used XP GDI, it is why turn off the themes you gave the best performance.  "It is not true more.)

    My Satellite worked perfectly with windows 7 until a few days ago when the features of aero desktop, such as the taskbar thumbnails, turned off whenever I turned off my laptop.
    I can turn on again them, but as soon as I close they off again. The problem is that the desktop windows manager is disabled.

  • Update removes all themes and makes the classic display of taskbar

    Once time and a while, when I turned off my phone and turn it back on, the bars of tasks and folders are the classic gray and blue look.  Makes it look like my laptop works under Windows 98, rather than the 'cool, smooth' appearance taskbars and folders of windows 7.  When I go into the themes, they are all grayed out as they aren't there.  I can't understand how to prevent that from happening or how to fix it.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Happened with Vista awhile back.

    Do a reset, which solves the problem?

    If this isn't the case, then check your service topics to make sure that it is started.

    If this is the case, select an aero theme. If this is not the case, start the service
