capability to set the background color of windows which is now stuck to bright white. Console 2 for a better experience under Windows Vista/7/8 and a better visual rendering.This fork supports.

Yet I don't need or want Aero back as it was. Aero had plenty of rounded edges, gradients, shades, transparency which are more easy Having everything look like a square or rectangle filled with solid colors is sleek but is not natural - our eyes are built to watch nature, not geometric monochrome images. High contrast and missing visual cues like coloured icons are what tires my eyes more in the new desktop. In Windows 7 I can arrange my desktop very easily. I don't feel strained if have a good background image, avoid maximizing windows, use transparency and adjust the window color to something not as bright as full white. Worry not, fans of curved edge, slightly transparent windows, and dialogue boxes. Originally introduced in Windows Vista, you might think its impossible to run Aero Glass on Windows 10. If I were to work on a completely white screen with small black text and black on white icons, square buttons, and solid colours my head would start aching after 3-4 hours due to eye strain. But despite requests, Microsoft refused to restore the Aero Glass theme in Windows 10. I work with a PC with two monitors for 8 hours a day.

I'm lucky as I don't need eyeglasses yet, but my sight is not flexible as when I was 30.

I would like to point the attention of everyone on the fact of life that around 40 years the eye starts having difficulties focusing at short distance. At my age I consider user interfaces from a different angle.
