sharp65 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 It looks like they turned on the servers for the internet games that are included. I tried play internet backgammon and it was able to connect, just couldn't find another player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacon Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 1. Using it ATM.2. Classic taskbar settings. Note how you can pin the taskbar properties (and many other windows) to the taskbar, useful if you change some settings all the time! Thankyou! This is very good news for me! I hate the new taskbar from videos I've seen of W7 so far, much rather something familiar. Also, do you think it's possible that a Vista Aero theme would/could be developed for it? I hate the glassy taskbar look, plus alot of the other new glassy effects. I like it simplistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted December 7, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 7, 2008 If you ask me, for the southeast corner Aero Peek they should scrap the semi-transparent borders, or at least set the opacity level of the borders to something really low like 25%. I agree with your comment about the borders potentially blocking out text on gadgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted December 7, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted December 7, 2008 They're there so you know or have an idea of what windows are over what gadgets mostly. Plus this way it doesn't totally freak you out when you use it for the first time. If everything just went away people would probably freak out at first. But they very well could add options to peak to have that on or off and so forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazlunatic Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I thought they would no longer give Aero Glass to the maximized windows and keep the bar black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winlonghorn Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I thought they would no longer give Aero Glass to the maximized windows and keep the bar black no, you have it backwards there lol. they said there would no longer be a black bar, but glass on maximized windows.

crazlunatic Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 aww that sucks, i really think they should make the black bar, it is quite distracting to see my desktop desigins and my own background changing. I also am not a fan of the transparent taskbar. Now that it's so huge, if you have a game minimized its really distracting. By the way longhorn, you have not responded to my PM on aeroxp. I take it that you are not interested in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinN206 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 no, you have it backwards there lol. they said there would no longer be a black bar, but glass on maximized windows. I actually prefer the black bar when maximized. It surprised me that behavior was removed in 6801. I use that black bar to know exactly that my window is maximized - quickly and efficiently with just a glance. Now, I have to carefully look at the maximize button to know for sure (takes time to process the little maximize button). I hope they make that as an option, rather than forcing something I am now very accustomed to. This black titlebar also helps those who use different (unofficial) themes that don't differentiate between non-maximized and maximized windows.

It doesn't take effort to see the maximised button if you know what it looks like! That's ridiculous to say that! I much prefer the idea of keeping the transparency when the window is maximised :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winlonghorn Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Vista made me stop maximizing applications because I hate the black bar. I prefer the way it is now :) I do too. You don't see the wallpaper change or anything move anyway. It is barely visible and not as transparent. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Especially when you have many applications open and maximize just one. It's stupid to loose all transparancy in the task bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharp65 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Has wordpad always been able to open .docx files? I don't remember it being possible in 6801. I noticed you can also now save .docx files and odt files in wordpad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHW Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 No it could not, but apparently the compatibility with docx isn't 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
