Martin H Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Instead of having to reinstall just to check this out(my PC has to little RAM to use WMvare propperly), then i would really be gratefull if someone could please tell me what the tweak about 'Flat' or 'Normal' menus as menu style is about ? I'm using classic style and want to disable everything related to eye-candy and visual effects, so as to save resources and RAM usage, but i don't know if i should select 'Flat' or 'Normal' under this tweak, as i don't know which of these settings turn the eye-candy off and uses least amount of RAM ? I'm on WinXP-Pro-SP2 with classic style. Thank's in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3incarnat0r Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 This post explains the difference:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&...st&p=587678Imo there's no performance harm after changing this tweak, but as you use classic style without fx, "Normal" option should be default for you.

videobruce Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Those links in that thread are a year old and appear to be dead, or at least they point somewhere else.Still don't know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin H Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 (edited) The link r3incarnat0r kindly posted features perfectly clear screen-shoots of flat vs. normal menus. The difference is that normal menus has a thin black edge at the right side and at the bottom side, so that it gets a 3D look, while the flat menu is simply just a plain menu without that thin black edge, so that it dosen't look like a 3D menu, but just a plain flat menu. Very nice tweak, as i much prefer the flat menu style (The default menu style in classic theme is 'normal') Edited December 25, 2007 by Martin H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videobruce Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 (edited) The difference is that normal menus has a thin black edge at the right side and at the bottom side I didn't have my high powered magnifying lens on at the time. Gee, can barely tell the difference. Edited December 25, 2007 by videobruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
