Hello,

Is there a way to append Aero Shake, Aero Snap, and Aero Peek into Windows Vista?

Tekno Venus,

I actually meant back porting the feature from 7.
Thank you.

Could someone at least tell me which file(s) contain these features? I would really love to port them. Even when Windows 7 was in beta and had Vista's taskbar, these features were available.
Can it be done via Resource Hacker?

What features are not offered by Aquasnap that you need? Or is it just that you don't want an external program to do it?

Ah, OK that makes sense.
However, I am not sure your idea is possible. The only way I can see to do it is using either AquaSnap or AeroSnap - Download.com. Other than that, I can't really help. Sorry. I wonder if anyone else on the forum can help.

Tekno Venus,
Thank you for your reply.
It should be possible, I think... There is a screenshot of Windows 7 Build 6801 and it has the Aero Peek button in the corner.
