For instance, in the start menu, taskbar or the action center, thanks to user feedback. Later versions did get the theme enabled, in parts. That is sadly not the case anymore as the said Registry keys were removed in subsequent updates.

Windows 10 originally had the aero theme with blur and transparency which could be enabled via a simple registry tweak. If you want the aero glass transparency with the blur effects right now, the only choice is using third-party hacks or tools. There’s still a while before users can get a taste of Microsoft’s Fluent design which incorporates transparency and blur effects among others. You can complement the Aero Glass transparency in Windows 10 with a fully transparent taskbar. Many users wanted the Aero Glass theme back, and when Windows 10 was launched, those people still wanted the Aero Glass theme. Microsoft decided to remove it for a more flat, modern look on Windows 8 which once again tanked pretty much like Vista. You could call Windows 7 a mixture of the best of Vista and XP. This is why Windows 7 then kept the design while leaving out the rest of the unnecessary stuff. Microsoft’s implementation of glass and transparency in the right places made Windows Vista an eye-candy, even though it failed in every other department. The problem I'm having is when I check the box "Use all my monitors for the remote session" I connect to the remote Windows 7 Client and both monitors are used however it dials back and only uses the basic Windows 7 Theme / Aero with no Transparency.Īnyone know how to fix this? I'm trying to get a test ready for my CIO to show off my VDI plan (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure).If there was one thing everyone agreed on about Windows Vista was that it sucked, but the Aero Glass theme was awesome.

This is true no matter if I connect to the VM being hosted on the Windows Server 2008 R2 Server or the ESXi virtual host. This is also called Desktop Composition on the Win 7 machine. When I connect to the Virtual Windows 7 machine I'm able to get the full Aero theme. Windows 7 RTM 圆4 on a Dell Precision T5400 Windows Server 2008 R2 AND Vmware ESXI (Tested with both) Is it possible to enable the Aero Theme (desktop composition) with Transparency on multiple monitors over RDP (Remote Desktop Connection)? I'm using the latest RDP 7 I think with my Windows 7 VM and Client but it's not working.
