Thanks styles Windows 7 Aero, users of this operating system have a great opportunity not only visually beautify its appearance, but also to do the work at the computer more convenient.Aero itself includes some interesting effects, but they can significantly reduce the responsiveness of the operating system on slower computers.But it's not a problem, because this type of design can optionally turned off by going to the classical or simplified type of design.Rating your computer you can see in the system properties.For this it is necessary to find a corresponding item in the panel.If
plunge into the history, the development of Windows Aero began simultaneously with the development of the project Longhorn.On the basis of the latter were put into the development of operating systems Windows Server 2008 and Vista.After that, the project began to be referred to as Aero and includes a modification of the user interface.If you recall the fate of Vista, it can be said that the quality of its appearance is very pleased users, but they were frustrated by the work of the OSes, but it's a separate issue, the more programmers Microsoft have taken into account all the wishes and based on them released Windows 7.
We now consider the order all the effects that are included in Windows Aero.
- Aero Glass - the effect is intended to create transparency of windows, giving them "of glass."Furthermore, it provides a smooth transition between windows, creating three-dimensional images.Since the Aero Glass is responsible for the lion's share effects in Windows Aero, respectively, it is the most resource-intensive.To disable it should go to the easy style that Glass is inactive by default.
- Aero Snap - a very interesting innovation that allows you to drag a window to any edge of your desktop, and then it unfolds according to several proposed schemes.This effect makes it easier to work with a work desk and windows.
- Aero Snake - this effect allows you to roll up windows by shaking the other detailed window.
- Aero Peek - when you hover on the minimized window in the task bar pops up a mini-image of the selected window.
As you have seen, in order to maintain smooth operation of these effects you'll need a powerful computer with a good graphics card.Microsoft itself says that will be enough processor 1 GHz, 1 GB of RAM, a graphics card with a storage capacity of not less than 32 MB, while it should support DirectX 9. But in practice, these values should be increased twice, and thatAs for the video, then all four.
Many Windows XP users want to be able to use these effects in their operating system.Craftsmen have developed special packs, which allow you to implement Windows XP Aero.Naturally, before the full effect, they fall short, but mostly give a similar look.As noted above, systems such as Windows Vista and Windows 7 come with Aero effect only in the maximum variant.All other decorated in a simplified style.
Not everyone will like bulk of windows, cursor, smooth folding windows.To disable Windows Aero, go to Control Panel, and then the system.Following the Appearance tab, you can turn off unnecessary effects, achieving optimal, in your opinion, appearance.
