rusty Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Hi, It's unfortunate that AM changes the windows display settings...V14 did not but I guess for some reason V17 has to? I thought AM set them back upon exiting but for some reason I stuck with out the 'transparency' of the window frames (whatever that is called). This should be a trivial point but I guess I've gotten spoiled. How do I change them back? Cheers, Rusty Quote

This helps to disable that... very likely you will experience a solid selection-box when selecting something in A:M with the rectangle tool, but if you are not or you can live with it, you can turn the setting off and it should work. See you *Fuchur* Quote

rusty Posted December 8, 2012 Author Posted December 8, 2012 I hear that "aero" is no more in Windows 8. I hate it when they give you something and then take it away! Anyway, I'll be finding out soon enough...my new notebook will arrive next week and it has Win8. Thanks robcat! Rusty Quote

No Aero, and I still have the problem with the selection boxes being solid, even if the option mentioned above is disabled. Andy. Quote

It probably will need some new investigating now that the new OS is out. Perhaps there are some other Windows display settings that might be involved? Quote
rusty Posted December 12, 2012 Author Posted December 12, 2012 I hear that "aero" is no more in Windows 8. HA!!! Windows is no longer in Windows 8!! Almost! I really do dislike w8... it looks like an iPad. Biggest change in Windows since Win95. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 12, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted December 12, 2012 And A:M isn't quite ready for the full touch screen deal yet. Quote
mtpeak2 Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 There is a way to get into a normal looking windows view. I just don't remember how (I don't have win8 yet). I saw it on YT. Quote
