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.

    • Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
