yes
>>51954816
yes
>>51954816
Yeah
>make it look like glass, cause windows lol
What a shitty stoner idea
yes
>not using 7
>>51954816
yes
>>51954816
>he fell the any OS except windows 7 meme
>>51954816
Yes.
>>51954816
>bro lets put transparency on the windows and use up cycles on the video card for no particular reason
yes
>>51954816
>Put'm on the glass
I miss it too OP
>>51954895
Did they improve the UI?
>>51954816
Damned if I know.
>>51954937
What's this?
nop, hated seeing my background leak thru
blame him
>>51954816
He was a good friend.
I can't miss what I still have, anon.
i miss the days when /g/ wouldnt even acknowledge proprietary software
>>51955950
Proprietary or not, since when does /g/ approve anything other than windows classic theme and all that graphical bullshit disabled for performance?
>>51955981
You realize that Windows Aero is better performance than old themes including classic?
>>51955981
>since when does /g/ approve anything other than windows
heh
>>51954816
Yep.
>pointless translucency effect solely to have any kind of translucency

>hard to discern active window

>COMPLETELY IGNORES YOUR SETTINGS
>did I mention the retardo-fat Duplo borders?
>>51954816
No, I still use it. Fuck minimalist! If I wanted my shit to look like 16bit Windows then I'll fucking do it myself. We've gone backwards with GUIs.
>>51956003
>is better preformance
ok

Aero will take advantage of a GPU
Classic will not.
So unless you're some extremely poorfag without a dgpu it's.
I miss it. Win 10 and it's 3.11 material design... just an insult

>If I wanted my shit to look like 16bit Windows
If you think modern flat design looks like 16-bit Windows, then you're probably the type that thinks the "8-bit aesthetic" is actually what 8-bit gaming looked like.
In other words, shut the fuck up, kid.
(I hate most flat UI, too, but your reasoning is stupid and ignorant)
>>51955981
enjoy your screen tearing.
>>51956079
I think you are the one underage. 16bit Windows refers to all releases previous to XP but not before 95.
>>51956079
How's an opinion of something need reason? It's called an opinion for a reason.
>>51956149
>I think you are the one underage. 16bit Windows refers to all releases previous to XP but not before 95.
Uh. And?
Modern flat UI doesn't look anything like 16-bit Windows. Not a bit.
>>51956176
>How's an opinion of something need reason? It's called an opinion for a reason.
What? I'm not criticizing the opinion, I'm criticizing the dumb and incorrect comparison of "16-bit Windows" with modern, flat UI.
>>51956030
It does perform better, in theory.
Using GPU acceleration is good, and means anything will run better than running CPU-only. Also, desktop compositing and no screen tearing.
Now, using that GPU acceleration to create retarded, unnecessary faux glass and blur effects is bad.
>>51956228
It's flat and ugly, therefore, it's the same.
>>51956149
>16bit Windows refers to all releases previous to XP but not before 95.
Oh wait, I misread what you wrote. Turns out you're literally retarded.
"Not before 95"? So, not 16-bit at all. You apparently mean 32 bit, entirely.
And "all releases previous to XP but not before 95" you mean Windows 95 (1995), 98, Me, NT 4.0, and 2000?
>>51956267
What 16-bit operating systems were flat? Windows 3.1 wasn't. Pseudo-3D coloring was used all over the place. Same in Windows 3.0. Even Windows 2.0 uses shadow effects.
Ancient Mac OS? Early Amiga OS releases? Those were fairly flat, but still often went for 3D effects.
>>51954816
>Am I the only one who misses system slowing bloatware UI animations and graphics?
Yes.
>>51954931
fuck off retard
>>51956149
Windows 2000 and Me were 32-bit you fuck
