Solved aero theme on windows vista home basic
Seven Guru + GFX
Power User
everyone knows vista should have the aero theme, right? i don't. maybe it is the home basic os? i also saw on the taskbar properties that it says "show windows preview" and i have this box checked
and also no thumbnails, just the name of the window. (bottom right)
thanks for any help given
and i will help in return
getting those thumbnails will look a bit cooler than just "top sites" or a name a window.
