Windows Longhorn build 4042 (Lab06 n): Difference between revisions
no edit summary
(Most of this page has been rewritten in a better English and tidied up (especially the parts regarding the new UI have been merged together), no important infos have been removed. Added infos regarding DWM (I used the term DWM as sbctl.exe in this build is called "DWM Control Utility"), and Sticky Notes. I have removed the useless "Slate" (we have a dedicated page for that, infos about Slate will be moved there) and "Sidebar" paragraphs as well.) |

*The whole user interface has been revamped: the welcome screen sports a new background with a gray-blue gradient and has been generally updated to fit the new [[Slate]] theme, which replaced [[Plex]] in the role of placeholder for the back then heavily secured [[Windows Aero|Aero]] theme. Some parts of the UI still show traces of the older Plex theme though, as it can be seen in the Windows setup itself, the bitmap of the "About Windows" dialog box, the "Longhorn Screen Saver" or the Aero wizards. Disabling the Sidebar will also make the Start button show the older white Windows logo, in addition to bringing back the "start" text. | *The whole user interface has been revamped: the welcome screen sports a new background with a gray-blue gradient and has been generally updated to fit the new [[Slate]] theme, which replaced [[Plex]] in the role of placeholder for the back then heavily secured [[Windows Aero|Aero]] theme.
