Kirkburn Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 And? You can do that already. Tone down the transparency tweak the colors.but I could see it as a enw theme, or may be even a sliver office theme Okay, are you not actually bothering to look at the screenshot, or what? It's the fading he's talking about.

Chris-Gonzales Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I do have it out and i'm looking at it right now. Might help if there wasn't the black box.

So what that there are black boxes. It makes no frackin' difference. Look at the damn titlebar. There is a colour gradient. How more obvious can it get? Makes me wonder if you're intentionally being obtuse. It could be wallpaper, it could be specific to Office. We don't know. That's the discussion.

Yes it does make a "frackin' " diference, as half of the title bar has a mix between black and few shads of gray boxes. I see the transparency a little , but the boxes steal the show and "obtuse"? :huh: is that some UK term?

Anyway, I think that design, if real, could be a fairly nice way of getting rid of the file menu/toolbar background and borders.

UncleSpellbinder Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 yay, more blur.... :x The more the better. Having several apps or more open and no blur is ridiculous. Difficult to separate windows. LONG LIVE BLUR!!!!

Pimpster Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 i find it funny that chris thinks obtuse is some kind of UK word.... its pretty common in the english language. hell even if youre not into english much... if you've taken some highschool math you should have come across that word a few times. anyway, i definitely like that fade more. I'd like it if they even stuck to white and subtle use of blur. Got rid of the stupid crappy emulated reflections in the glass and what not. more simplicity and consistency with good color choices, the better. honestly it seems like the office and zune people know how to make things look nice. hopefully the windows team kidnapped a few design people from those teams heh.

freeeekyyy Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 While I agree that the current UI is more than enough for the task at hand, I would like to see a fresh new look. But for me personally, when I use Win7 I feel its just Vista with some addons. The wow is now eh? So the most important aspect is how it looks?

Ez8 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 From my understanding the Aero Engine is @ 2.0 in Win7 but not the actual interface, I can see that changing during RTM Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/759486-there-are-rumors-too-that-a-new-ui-is-coming/page/15/#findComment-590872932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people look at Windows 7 as it currently is, I guarantee that 99% of them will say "Thats vista right?" regardless of what's changed under the hood.

Theres so much change under the hood, and its far from a "service pack" update.

Still, theres so much change (new taskbar, home group, new user folder structure with "libraries" and much more) far more then whats needed for a "service pack" and service packs are mostly for security and performance updates.
