Another Windows 7 Question

[vaikepois]

Is there any way change taskbar color without aero mode?

 

[aka Brett]

Yes right click on the desktop
Select personalize
Select window custom color
Play with the sliders
This will change your entire them however rather than just the taskbar.
I read your other thread.....Are you stuck in basic theme?

 

[vaikepois]

No... Aero takes more ram ( when aero enabled then process dwm.exe is enabled [ Dekstop window manager ] which takes 8-11mb ram -.- So i wanted use basic mode with black taskbar..

 

[aka Brett]

You can disable transparency {which pretty much brings you back to basic} then you will have better controls of the theme than choosing basic....but will not be taxing your system with transparency graphics.

What u mean

 

[aka Brett]

Uncheck this option while you are playing around with the sliders

1)I mean " ..but will not be taxing your system with transparency graphics. " what ya mean by that

2)If i turn off it will take less ram?

It will be easier on your graphics card mainly..you may have slightly less used ram as well

You have 32 or 64 bit 7 ?
It doesnt take alot to run 7 really I have 2 gigs for 32 bit and can run a virtual machine under it without any problems...while intentionally infecting the guest OS
with 32 bit you are limited to a little over 3 gigs by the system itself....4 gigs would be very nice though for a 64 bit install

 

[vaikepois]

i have 32bit os -.- I cant crack somehow let pc have 4gb ram without getting 64bit os

 

[aka Brett]

Nope even if it shows you are using 4 gigs it will be using a little over 3 anyway

 

[vaikepois]

pff -.- i guess il live with 3.25gb i think it was limit -.- Too much hassle get 64bit..

 

[aka Brett]

Enough to power Aero
