Dos_Box Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Does anyone know how to do the funky 'rotating' windows thing? You layer the windows one behind the other on the desktop and they rotate to bring focus on the one you want to work on. I just want to show off.
mattx Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 You have the relevant GX enabled chipset / card and direct X 9 installed ?
Jake Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Its the windows key + tab key, as long as the machine is good enough to run Aero
webman Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Chocolatey and bubbly!! I prefer the mint ones.
Lee_K_81 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Chocolatey and bubbly!! I prefer the mint ones. oH NO....... Not the whole chocolate thing again!!!!!! Thank goodness it's friday.... mmmm crunchy.... no..........
Dos_Box Posted February 2, 2007 Author Posted February 2, 2007 Its the windows key + tab key, as long as the machine is good enough to run Aero Yup. I have a very (very) funky laptop.
Gatt Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Theres also the button on the Kwik-E-Bar (next to Show Desktop)
Gatt Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I like Aero/Glass too.. just don't think there is a place for it in the school environment. When we do eventually deploy Vista, I'll probably use it without the Glass Why they havent included an XP style theme in Vista I don't know.. cos i would have used that instead of Aero.
webman Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Windows Classic man... can't beat it - fast, functional and productive
john Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Windows Classic man... can't beat it - fast, functional and productive )You might as well go back to DOS or Windows 1 then Craig, then again your probably a bit too young to remember them
webman Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Nope, not really Not realistic to use those either - software these days won't run on those I find getting things done is best achieved when windows aren't wobbling and flying about everywhere, and things are a lot quicker and more responsive when extra effort isn't put in to making the former bells and whistles perform
john Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Hey I would be lost without my puzzles and e-sticky notes in my Vista sidebar, its ace just for those! Oh yeah and the weather forecast for my actual village!!
webman Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Fantastic Bet they still work without 3D rendering in Win Classic mode
linuxgirlie Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 I dont know, we have tranparency here, and as soon as we put it on the students stopped moaning about the fact that it was Linux, heres a rubbish screenshot showing some transparency: http://linuxgfx.co.uk/project/ataglance/profiles/linuxdesktop.png That saying, I don't thinkI will install beryl (which does the funky, rolling windows etc... more can be seen here: ) as we would have problems with students swapping desktops etc!! They would play around so much that wouldn't get any work done!! Jo
john Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Fantastic Bet they still work without 3D rendering in Win Classic mode They do but its sooo crap looking you wouldn't use them
Busybub Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Something similar for XP: http://www.otakusoftware.com/topdesk ... of course, there's no way that MS would have copied it *cough cough* For the Mac inclined: http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/
