Artist's Comments

For months now, people have been trying to enable aero glass on their non-wddm video card computers, but with no sucess. This was because microsoft decided to disable all the regestery hacks which would enable aero. Fortunatly, I have modified the Basic theme by adding elements from the aero theme. The theme is now in the pre-release stage, so expect some very minor bugs. When it is finished, I will eliminate all of the bugs, move the "X", "[]", and "_" buttons to the top of the window. It will also be transparent, because it is PNG based. I look forward to hearing your imput so I can release the final theme as perfect as possible.

No offense, but it sounds like an awful lot of bullshit since most of the experienced veteran visual style creators are unable to achieve what you claim is a simple registry workaround.

If that's possible it gives me a reason not to upgrade my video card!

I like it, especially CaptionButtons. They seem to be a combination between Vista Aero and Vista Basic. Good vs!!!

I'm excited, how this project will move forward. Fortunately, I have a good PC and I can run Aero, but this is a good idea for all users who can't run it. It won't look exactly like Aero because of the Aero-specific effects, but it's a good start!

Keep it up!

You know I was thinking the exact same thing.

A simple registry hack/work around isn't going to change the ability to impliment Alpha Transparency in PNG's or the standard GUI for Windows XP.
