jb3555 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Yes. Ribbon-enabled windows don't go to the theme resource atlas to get the glow effect. I believe it's either coded into the theme code or it gets it from somewhere else (I'm not expert in themes). The good news is that with Explorer windows you have the address bar right there, so you can train yourself to look inside the Explorer window for that.Like you, I prefer a dark background.-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelter Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Yeah, thanks. I misunderstood the Intensity setting, I actually tried a higher value but not high enough. I have it at 70 now and now I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soukyuu Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 That message just means it couldn't get the file from the server. Keep trying, I needed 3-5 tries to get all of them, don't know why it's like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelC Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I'm getting artifacts...You can't be serious. Please do a better job of capturing your screenshot, because there's no way anyone could possibly see anything in that blurry shot.-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
