Uploading two pics, one minute apart, to show off the neat "Automatic" chrome color theme in Win8:

Seems the color chosen is based on the dominant color of the wallpaper, similar to how Win7 and 8 make the hover color of each running taskbar button based around the dominant color of the icon.

It's in the settings for the app.

Just need to read through them a little :)

Those can't be windows 8... Windows 8 has only metro tiles GUI since it's only a tablet/smartphone system... old desktop is gone! :whistle: :shiftyninja:

I won't upgrade to windows 8 because it doesn't have blah blah blah and it's blah blah blah so i don't blah blah blah (this is a kind of comment that i'm reading in this forum).... and i would like to say to these people "ENJOY YOUR ICONS"

its pretty "funny" when you are on the desktop screen and click on the start button when metro is enabled. :laugh: :angry:

I think we should make us the idea that we will have to live with that damn and fugly green screen for the rest of our lifes!.

It is windows 8... There is also a desktop version..;

I was not able to get all of the hardware running on my Windows 8 test machines so i will not be posting a screenshot (as the screen resolution is not proper) Also It says i have a wifi device simply wont enable it.

Okay - I'm Officially Curious.

What hardware failed?

(The fact that you have multiple test setups, each with different issues, while I have a successful traditional desktop, is why I'm curious.)

I am using a Acer Aspire 5570z. the Video driver is no supported (nor could windows update find a suitable driver), the Wireless card is acknowledged however, it tells me it cannot find any networks nor connect to them for some reason. While Under Windows Vista everything functions properly.

None of this bothers me as I am rather certain if I were to install this on my Desktop or within a Virtual Machine it would most likely function properly.

I have two VMs (one each of x32 and x64) on the Windows 7 x64 side of this same desktop; they're fine as well.

Wow this looks horrible. Why are the min/max/close buttons, along with the entire title bar so freaking huge? Surely not for the minimalists out there.

Other than the square corners, nothing about Aero Glass in Windows 8 appears to be any different from Windows 7.

    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/  
    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
