Vista - Everyone happy with aero glass?

Personally I'm not. Run IE7 or Word or any application in a window. Great
aero effects. They look great. Drag them by the corner to fill the screen -
they still look great. Use the maximise button and an ugly solid dark title
bar is displayed. Is this Vista aero 50%? Wouldn't it be nice is MS was
consistent?

It may be the beta video driver.

When we got a demo of Vista from the MS reps, we were told that this was by
design, as transparent glass in maximized windows over long periods of time
was causing side effects like headaches etc

Okay. Maybe I'm picky. Have a look at the title bar when windowed. The test
is about centred in it. Maximise the window and the text is justified to the
top of the title bar. WHY! And I hope they give us more otions to change
colours. I think the default black is crap.

Microsoft has said that in upcomming builds the taskbar and start menu glass
will react more when you change the glass color thru personalization.

Altho, it will still be dark tinted.

i totaly agree with jonty. i think that aero glass is a crap. the black a
gray color all over i horrible, disgusting. MS should definitelly enable the
oportunity so that users can change color something like in WMP 10 (not 11).
