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.

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
