Hi,
OS is actually Win7 starter on a netbook.
When an icon in the notification area wants to tell me something, it makes a pale yellow speech bubble thing.
The fade-in and fade-out effect is very distracting.
Can I disable it somehow?
Can I change the duration of these notifications?
thanks
Hello Silmeria,
I don't like the fade effect either. You can uncheck all fade options in the Visual Effects in the tutorial below, and click on OK to stop that.
The tutorial below can help show you how to set how long you want notifications to stay open for.
Hope this helps, :)
Shawn
Oh, forgot to mention.
I've already ticked "Best performance".
Strange... if I put it to custom, it enables a couple of options.
If I tick them, and press apply/ok, close and re-open, they will be ticked again.
Is there a limitation in Windows 7 starter that makes some options forced?
As for the duration, yes, I knew about that.
I was hoping to set it to like, <1 second. Though that article says that 5 seconds is the minimum, so bah.
Ah hah!
Thanks for pointing me to that link.
When I tried to do it via poking at the registry, Windows gave a "lol u no permissions" error.
My user only had read access to the registry folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
and thus could not change the values properly.
Right clicking (left pane) that folder and setting the permissions fixed this.
Now I can disable everything using any method. Hooray!
