Tweaks: Visual Effects-Menu style-Normal vs. Flat


Recommended Posts


Posted (edited)

Could anyone tell me which registry setting stands behind this visual tweak so I can set it myself post-install and check/see if I like the change from normal (as I have it set now) or whether I can spot any difference at all?

And how do YOU set this - anyone with flat setting here? Could you post some menu screens what it looks like?

Same to me. I need to know which is the registry tweak between them.

By the way I think there are 3 modes: office XP mode, flat mode and normal mode.

Flat Menus tweak can be set for Windows XP and above by enabling the UserPreferencesMask binary value's flag 0x00020000 (for more info about UserPreferencesMask check out my "unofficial reference" ;) ).

Screenshot - Classic vs. Flat Menu (Windows Classic Style):

Tweak (using INF file):

[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"

[DefaultInstall]
BitReg=Tweak

[Tweak]
; Enable Flat Menus (Office XP Style):
;
HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","UserPreferencesMask",1,0x02,2
;
; Disable Flat Menus (Classic 3D look):
; HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","UserPreferencesMask",0,0x02,2

Now, how can I add that registry tweak in an unattended setup CD?

Would anyone be kind enough to post a link on how to incorporate an INF in an unattended CD?

Thanks in advance.
