wfunction Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 How do you disable Aero's blurring of title bars in Vista RC2? Don't tell me about previous stuff (like Beta 1, 2, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I don't have an RC2 box anymore, but in RTM there's a checkbox in the Window Color and Appearance window called "Enable Transparency". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david6400 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 hey dude,the above instructions are correct; and on that note, that didnt change between any distributions of vista at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've run so many darned builds I've forgotten what is what. So, I post RTM - if you're running a previous version, I'm bound to not know what you're looking at. Glat to have someone point out one of the few things that didn't change over the builds .

wfunction Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thanks a lot - I wish - but I wanted to disable the blurring, not the transparency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 what exactly do u call blurring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeveL Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) He probably means that horrible ClearType effect.Take a screenshot of any Vista window and zoom in on the text, itssilly, it looks like you should be wearing 3D glasses to look at it...Microsoft dropped the ball with this I think.Why do they insist on fixing something that is not broken?!That text was taken from one of the setup screens, if you can "disable"the fuzzy text on the setup screens, let me know how you did it.

Spooky Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) Maybe its the fact that the 'transparency' for the title bars is not truely transparent but instead seem to 'blur' instead of allowing a real see thru look. If thats it then the answer is - unless you hack some files, or download one of the utilities on the internet for transparent windows, you can't.

DigeratiPrime Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 You might also be referring to the 'glare' that is added to the transparent windows. I show how to remove this effect in this following topic:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=86972Note that the background is still blurred by the foreground window, however I know there is a vista tweak tool that claims it lets you disable or adjust the blur, whatever that means.http://www.tweakvi.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfunction Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Thanks, Mr. Spooky (or Ms. Spooky). Yes, I mean the blurring of the titlebar, where it is tanslucent and not transparent (look them up). No, I do not mean cleartype. Also, you said "unless you hack some files". Is there any way to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
