Skinning non-aero capable desktop
Apologize if this has already been answered, but I have a tablet PC with the infamous Intel 915 chipset -- which does not support Aero. The salient scores from the WEI for my box are: Desktop performance for Aero 1.9, 3D .. graphics performance 1.0.
So I bought and installed Windowblinds 7 beta, and confirmed it works great on the same box in Vista (it's a dual-boot with Vista and Seven). But it does not work in Seven. I only get windows classic with WB installed and Basic without it. I've posted on the Stardock forum, even sent email to Stardock support, but no one's come up with any solutions.
I've look through some of the skinning threads here, and it looks like you need Aero working to use the patches. I'm not eager to start patching system files if it's known in advance that such changes won't work.
So, does anyone know if the uxtheme-associated patches will work on a non-Aero capable machine? Has anyone tried this and confirmed it?
