Vista airo9/2/2023 ![]() Flip 3D is invoked by holding Windows+Tab pressing the Tab key again moves to the next window in the stack. įlip 3D allowed the user to cycle through all open windows and the desktop using a three-dimensional cyclic mechanism, primarily as a way to demonstrate Windows Vista’s graphical prowess. Aero Snap can also be used to make a window expand to fill the desktop vertically (leaving its width unchanged) such windows could be dragged left and right like tiles, or dragged down to restore their original size. Dragging a window to the top of the screen would maximize it, pulling down a maximized window’s title bar will change it back to a floating window. ![]() Performing the gesture again restores the hidden windows.Īero Snap, available in Windows 7 and later, automatically resizes a window to make it fill the 50% of the vertical screen real estate when dragged to the side of the monitor. The intensity of the glass effect can also be set here, including disabling transparency completely.Īero Peek shows small, live taskbar thumbnails when the mouse hovers over a taskbar item.Īero Shake, available only in Windows 7, minimizes all other windows when a single window is dragged quickly back and forth across the desktop. Eight alternative color tints are available, as well as a color mixer. The main indicator of the active window was that its Close button was bright red, while it is the same color as the surrounding area in all other windows.Īero Glass can be customized via a dedicated screen in Control Panel, under Personalization ➪ Window Color and Appearance. However, there is very little visual differentiation between the active (frontmost) window and other windows that may be positioned alongside it, leading to the risk of a user accidentally closing the wrong window. A color tint, blurring the screen area behind the window, and fixed images are combined to create the glass effect. Aero Glass was removed in Windows 8, although the underlying technology remains the same.Īero Glass is much more complex than it may appear. Some components of Windows Vista, including the file explorer, Internet Explorer, and Windows Media Player expand the glass border further into the window. If it wasn't for the fact that all my games are Windows games I'd be using something else.Aero Glass makes window frames (title bars and bottom, left, and right borders) appear semitransparent. hahaha If you knew anything about me, which you obviously dont, you'd know that i despise windows. Give me a call when you see a game that doesn't share ideas from another one - I'll be waiting a long time, because there never has been, and never will be. Programs have been developed for years, and just about every possible idea has been used in some way, shape, or form - now developers are having to share ideas. It seems like all the Windows fanboys are just so easily offended by these accusations. ![]() I don't know why you Windows fanboys get so offended by this though, it's not unheard of for two applications to share similar ideas. This is no surprise though - just about every other feature in Vista was ripped from Mac OS X as well (there are differences, but you can tell where the general ideas came from). The texturing may not be anywhere the same, but the overall design of the window is indeed very similar. oooo it has rounded corners! they must be the same!
