I am probably covering old ground, but......
Out of curiosity I compared WB and Uxtheme (Neowin).
I used Aero 5203 / Black Mesa and a few others.....
I have a 2.8ghz/533/1gigmem 256meg nvidia etc.... in otherwprds, plenty of horse power
I run XP Home / MSOffice 2003, Adobe (photo/acrobat) and the nornal other various goodies.....
I have been finding that lately with WB I was noticing a system slowdown, especially as I like to listen to tunes and work in multiple apps at once....
So on a whim (actually an article I read) to compare WB and something else (free... I know, cheap!)
anyway, when comparing the two styles, using visual styles of the same (see line 3) I found that my system runs slightly quicker using msstyle instead of WB.
Now, is there some trick I am missing in WB? I am just getting into designing some skins and looks like fun and has more options than msstyle.
Open to suggestions... (and waiting for LH, oops I mean Vista...)
Thx,
D.
