NXPdev Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Well, it is supposed to be shown at the PDC... or at least shortly after. Not putting my hopes too high... but Aero should be available by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted June 9, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 9, 2003 plus i doubt neowin would have its own forum if it wasnt allowed, I'd say a new build will prob surface in july, some reason that month seems right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aero UI will be impressive. Impressively awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocks1985 Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I think we'll see it soon, because unlike Luna was to Windows XP, I think Aero, the UI is going to have more of a role in Longhorn than the role that the UI played in Windows XP. Because it will have such an important role, I believe microsoft will want to get it out and have the actual interface be part of the Beta. Meaning, not only will people fix codes and such, but people will fix the way things look and feel, and how the UI feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-penguin Veteran Posted June 10, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 10, 2003 (edited) no windowsx is person... he has a plex theme and it makes more sense than the real one EDIT: go to the them section ^_^ Edited June 10, 2003 by EnIgMa-PenGuIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BakanekoX05 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 no windowsx is a themer here at neowin. Windowsx has the best PLEX theme avaliable on these boards. Go check out the visual styles area and you can even find a longhorn transformation pack from Windowsx.

Redmondian Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 hey, i like plex better than luna :p But Plex is only a "placeholder" for the new UI which is still some time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iron2000 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I wonder if Aero will look very very different from Plex as Luna looks nothing like Watercolor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NXPdev Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Isn't "Aero" supposed to be like "a whole new way" to do UI? If it is, it would bear no resemblence to Plex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
