making vista areo glass work

[smeezekitty]

is there any way to force the vista areo glass to work in
16bit color?
i really think it would look nice but it needs 32bit color
and that makes me agitated

No. Aero needs 32 bits per pixel.

[smeezekitty]

if it switch to 32
the screen gets lines in it and 5 seconds later a nice BSoD comes on

Well, fix the problem.

[computeruler]

well get a new graphics card

[smeezekitty]

its a laptop
it did it even when new
i just always ran it in 16bpp and there is no reason areo shouldnt
work in 65536

[Salmon Trout]

ithere is no reason areo shouldnt work in 65536

Now you're just being silly.

[smeezekitty]

name one good reason why it shouldnt work in 65536

No, you go first; you disputed my assertion; you give one good reason why it should.

[smeezekitty]

becuase 65536 is enough to display evereything
and any thing that says you need more is crazy
and if there is some slight[/i] banding oh well

so the reason it should work is:
theres plenty of colors and 32bpp is not always possable at the desired res

That's not really a "reason", any more than saying "I want a present" is a "reason" why Santa Claus exists.

[smeezekitty]

but there is also no reason for it not to work
except microsoft has there head up there you know where

[patio]

Right...
So it's MS's fault you insist on living in the past and sit here and cry about why things don't work...

Makes sense to me...anyone else ? ?

[smeezekitty]

since when is 1280x768 16bpp in the past?
