I prefer not to deal more with it, is quite pleasant for me as is at that point. I just hate blue color in any interface element. Then select what you prefer (grey-ish is fine for me). Then, just right click in the desktop (or go to control panel) and hit customize, If disable thumbnails, obviously wont see those raw files previews, not even having installed the raw cameras codec pack from MS (neither JPGs or other images thumbnails) in "open" dialog in AP (or in the whole OS). If you disable font smoothing you will see bad fonts aliasing. Use visual styles in Windows and buttons. And you only need 4 options, actually you could leave only two (I believe first and last of my below list), but I'd recommend setting the following 4, however they might be worded in English Windows 7 version : You would click the "Customize" radio button instead of the default. You would go then to to Control Panel, then System (or if have your desktop so, right click on the machine icon, "properties"), then hit Advanced Configuration, then hit Advanced Options, and in that window, in the "Performance" area, hit the "Configuration" button (it says there you can change visual effects). I would advice choosing "Windows 7" standard, and probably remove that way too intense blue desktop background by hitting "desktop background" at the bottom of the themes window, and then selecting "solid color", and choosing a custom color, I pick my very specific neutral grey. The first thing would obviously be to select an aero theme (right click on desktop, customize). I've experimented no performance loss, indeed this loss could happen in XP and Vista times, but seems not anymore (I put my machine to its limits of performance every day, and is a first generation i7 with only 8gb, arcane card) But from what I have read in some posts, some people might not know they can do this: Almost totally disabling the visual style that aero brings, but keeping what the application needs. First, apologies for not showing UI screens in English, but I believe all items are in the same place, so is easy to deduce which options are which.Īlso for this being way too obvious for the majority.
