[Feature Suggestion] Support for systems without Blur

Post by smurfier »

I would like to see an option for background mode that makes it display only on a system that does not support aero blur.

This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because . . .

Well,

You could always have a background meter, and then use a calc that checks for Vista/Win7 and checks the registry for aero enablement, so that if true it would disable the background and replace it with blur, and if false then it wouldn't do anything.

Kinda annoying, but a decent workaround until this is actually implemented :/
I have three rules when I'm trying to help you.
  • Don't get mad when you don't understand something
  • Be VERY specific with what you ask for.
    The more specific you are, the higher the quality of support you receive.
  • Do not just copy and paste what I put in examples and come back saying it doesn't work.
    It does work, but I purposely left blanks that you need to fill for your specific needs.
