I think it would be cool if aero could have transistions of colour, best would be changing colour and stuff depending on day and night and weather.

background could change state ie, a tree growing, a bon fire start to end, sky and clouds moving, the sea

What would be really cool (and I've thought about how to implement this), is have a wallpaper like a tree, and green grass, sky, etc.

And then have that environment mimic the environment outside. Say its 2:45PM, then the scene in the wall should look sunny, but through the evening, you can see the sky darkening, the sun setting, and eventually you have a tree in the dark, with stars, maybe the moon...

And have seasons change too. In August, the leaves should start changing color, etc. Winter, have snow...

That would be really cool.

No, that's not my point. I'm pointing about how could we render imagined Aero through some tools such as Photoshop or something. I'm not great about mocking up much so I decided to resample Aero resources into one of my theme to render parts I need. You'll see there's just Explorer dialog because I didn't make it in other parts. So let's join idea about this unless there's no point to do.

So Aero shall be something that can inspire our desktop for eye candy and useful stuffs...But I think there must be something we don't know about. Maybe putting the world into PC and spend to rest of life drinking coffee and watch moniter...lol

No. I think he wanted people to post mockups of what people think Aero should look like, which I don't understand, because shouldn't we just wait until MS releases it? That's how it's going to look and how we 'think' it should look is utterly irrelevent to the final design. I thinkt his thread will from here on out be used for Windows X to showcase his Longhorn crap while other users bitch about it until the thread is closed or falls into the obscurity known as page 2, until Windows X revives it.

:p

Been done. My aunt's old Sony Vaio laptop from long ago automatically change according to the time. For example, in the morning it'd be the sunrise, then in the afternoon it would be sunny, then at sunset it'd become red, and at night it was starry.

For me the best Aero theme was (because project terminated?) the photoshop creation? by DigitalFreedom.

I think is the best !

This one

Looks nice:):) From what I've seen in this thread, Aero should be something else more than theme. In other word, theme is one of Aero. I think Longhorn could be the best OS ever when it's released and so o:D:D

btw, I don't understand why people want to start bitching. I just want to know how Aero is from everyone's opinions. I think someone in here should discover book buddha religion. That's the best book to redeem ppl's mind (Since The Matrix use these concepts for their movies)

Right, I'm going to adopt a religion because it was used in the Matrix.

Anyways, I still don't see the point. What I'm trying to say is Aero will be what Microsoft makes it, anything proposed in this thread will ultimately not be used in the final product, so why act like it will be otherwise?

Try Longhorn Aero (Plex UI) from Longhorn Transformation Pack 6. But no trans and modding like that...hehe We can't do it anyway. Just similar possibilities for fun.

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
