Windows 8:Aero Automatic Colorization

7 Replies

We have earlier seen the Logon screen, the Ribbon UI in windows Explorer and the PDF reader unveiled by Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott. Today they have unveiled a new Personalization interface in Windows 8, which allows users to customize their desktops.This feature automatically changes the color of Aero elements like the Start Menu, Windows Explorer windows, and the taskbar based on the wallpaper.

In Windows 7 when, the colorization option is limited to selection of a single color while a new option has been added in the grid of window color swatches in Windows 8 named as Automatic. This might be a small feature, though very useful for those who like to keep their own set of wallpapers as desktop backgrounds and rotate them frequently.

    WT..? Is this being touted as a “feature” ?? It is obvious that the Dad’s Army working in MS is running out of grey cells. The company is going down and the only way to stop it is to infuse new blood. But, alas, the company is in the clutches of the geriatrics who are not too keen to fire themselves.

    Ok… and this is supposed to impress us HOW? Been there, done that in Windows 7, except just more color selection?

    I teach computer basics to beginners…. mostly the over 50yos …. adding another higher rung to what it is they need to learn is stupidity… another way for the developers to make more money..Stop with the upgrading for a year or two and let us ALL catch up…. It’s madness.

    Wow, does it mean that the color gets adapted to the desktop background when it changes?

    That would be cool!

    (Why do people call that stupid? It’s time saving! Saves a couple of seconds every time…)
