trip21 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Vista was not exactly a number one example of how to manage a software project. No one is going to debate that point. By one analogy I have heard, working on Vista was like trying to change all four wheels on the car... while you're going 60 mph on the highway. Yeah I really don't think Vista is a poster child for anything! IS THE CYAN STRIPE AROUND ACTIVE WINDOWS GONE YET???

Tech_Dude_5000 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 What you people haven't even noticed is that all of the "Maximized Color" is changes is just to bring up the hype in yall. The relatively tiny "small" ammount of color they have added to the maximized windows has been there since Build 5600, and it has been tuned up about 4+ more on build 5728, if any; It does NOT show when you use the standard color (that is what they said now at the shell website), but it does show "a little bit more" if you switch to other colors like Frost, Blue, Orange, Pink, etc.Now whether they are coming up with something really relevant to this if they get to release the pre-RTM build by tomorrow, that is something I do not know. But I am sure these news, aren't that much of a discoverage. What is it that you do when you get the beta builds? Test it? How?.... I see a lot of people who seems to be Beta testers to be asking for these stuff everyday when they're in front of their faces... :huh: Look: this would be the Default color scheme Maximized. Now these are the other color schemes available, each one maximized: Blue Maximized. Frost Maximized. Graphite Maximized. Orange Maximized. Pink Maximized. Red Maximized. Teal Maximized (my favorite). Tip: You can appreciate the color change in the PNGs better if you are using a TrueBright? CrystalClear Display, like those in VAIO LCDs or HP Compaqs V2000 and up; I've noticed that it depends on your display; so for some people it might look black if your brightness is too low or under 50%, contrast, etc... Also this is what I was reffering to in a thread which I forgot to reply back to whoever asked me how; there you go my friend... well thats true, but they did update it and it looks a whole lot better: ..here is a picture showing what the default window colors look like maximized. Note that none of the default colors are particular saturated. If you make a really saturated color, the blackness is even more reduced.http://shellrevealed.com/photos/blog_image...4/original.aspx Source Yeah I really don't think Vista is a poster child for anything! IS THE CYAN STRIPE AROUND ACTIVE WINDOWS GONE YET??? Still there, though its very small... aside from the issue from whether they should have changed it or not..i really really find it weird people are saying 'i dont like black; i want it the color i want, etc'. black is a basic color, like white. its not like they're forcing you to make it hot pink, forest green, or bright orange. when things are black, it does not make it look goth. its a basic color, ok--black, white, gray. when you used DOS, the background was always black. ok, its just really weird. and at least they made the black in vista glossy. they could have made it just a solid black. now that will b:x:x the glossy part makes it look fresh and new.

Robin.B Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 they might not be able to design a better interface, but there's way more people disliking the new UI compared to those who like it. so obviously there is an issue, i dont remember people complaining about XP this much. Oh yeah? There are millions of people using Vista. You've maybe seen a few thousand (probably much less) complaining about the new UI. Well guess what, people won't come on the net to say "OMG The new Vista UI Rox my sox!!!111Oneoneone", but rather rant about the small things (or big things) that they don't like about it.
