alphaomegainfinity Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Those wallpapers are gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroos Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 i agree. one thing that i think changed in vista/svr2008 is that classic seems to have big/awkward window borders compared to 2000/xp classic which i think is what turns people off mostly. and the newer start menus just dont look good in classic either You're not meant to be running classic unless you really need the older app compatibility.

Mr. Dee Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 You're not meant to be running classic unless you really need the older app compatibility. The classic theme does not determine an applications compatibility with the OS. Compatibility is based on low level changes in the OS such as the kernel.

JOHW Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 It's the Windows Solutions Center which will notify you of problems like firewall, antivirus and stuff..Just click it to find out if it were bugging you :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profets Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 You're not meant to be running classic unless you really need the older app compatibility. classic is listed as an older theme under personalization no? its meant to be there if someone wants the classic look of windows anyway, went looking and saw that aero (and classic in vista/2008/7) has border padding value of 4, which makes the borders look pretty ugly for the classic theme. reducing that value makes classic look more like xp/2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHW Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 IMO, I think they should make Windows Classic look like the Watercolor version of Windows XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha_omega Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Windows Classic is the default native visual style for Windows Server and thus won't be removed nor changed. Even on the desktop side it is meant as a fallback solution in case of problems with certain legacy apps, broken video drivers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Live Veteran Posted November 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2008 IMO, I think they should make Windows Classic look like the Watercolor version of Windows XP That required the themeing service. So... not possible, or else it wouldn't be "classic." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted November 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2008 Some old apps are barely usable without Classic... That doesn't mean you should throw your entire OS into Classic. What's wrong with the compatibility option "disable visual themes" and "disable desktop composition"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToneKnee Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Does anyone know what that lighthouse icon in the tray is? It's been bugging me forever. It's called 'Windows Solution Centre' Basically when you have messages about Updates, crashes etc, it all goes into this 'Solution Centre' and the Icon notifies you of any notices and stuff and keeps a small log of what notices have been shown.
