ebarone Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Hey road-runner, do you normally have that Windows theme or do you do it for better clock speeds? I forget where, but I recently read that the old classic themes in XP are actually pasted overtop of the default green and blue theme, so it may be helpful to re-enable the default theme, if thats why you have that theme. If you have it because you like it then just ignore me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebarone Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Nono, what I mean is, when you are in XP, do you leave the default XP theme? The green and blue start bar and all that good junk? Because "turning it off" according to someone else (as in, I didnt check on this myself so dont put too much faith in what I say lol) isnt really turning anything off. The "off" look is actually just a theme drawn over the normal theme and the true off is the normal XP theme, so if you're trying to save clock cycles, try using the default windows theme. <shrug> give it a shot anyways, maybe whoever I read that from was full of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLS2008 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 He's using Vista so it's a different story. Vista has an Aero feature built in that's supposed to make the windows all special and junk. Anyways, it's just another way for Microsoft to waste more CPU cycles. So in Vista, reverting to the classic Windows look actually saves cycles. AJ, add a link to your database in your sig...

kitfit1 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 If your using Vista guys, the way to do it is turn "Themes off". Then go to Control Panel/System/Advanced System Settings/Performance Settings, and tick "Adjust For Best Performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
