Aero will be hard for me to explain since it is the new visual style. I can not see or appreciate it even with magnification. My artistic daughter likes it. I am sure it is a waste of horsepower for almost all blind and visually impaired users. I think title bars are somewhat transparent. Older graphics hardware will not be able to support Aero.

I don't have windows7 -- what is AERO? Thanks. --le----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald Marang" <donald.marang@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2010 11:25 AM Subject: Re: jaws and seven:accessibility, settings, etc.I do not think there are any settings in either Windows 7 or Vista that arerequired for JAWS. I remember that XP did require several setting changes for JAWS to work. I do change several things for my own preference. Most of these are in the Folder options. I prefer the Details view in Windows Explorer. In Windows 7, the details are treated as a grid that can be navigated left and right as well as up and down. This makes it easy to check dates or size. I think Microsoft stole this concept from Linux. I also set it to view hidden files and extensions. JAWS can not deal with Aero at this time. JAWS will turn this off automatically when started.However, if you install Windows 7 to a VMware virtual machine, it will causeproblems. In this case, you need to turn off Aero. The easiest way to do this is to change the theme to Windows Classic. Some people can not get Windows 7 and JAWS to work in a virtual machine. It just randomly blue screens. Windows 7 works great with JAWS 11. I certainly enjoy the new features in Windows 7.

I know in xp there were a few settings that made things work better, is it the same for seven? What sorts of things need to be set for accessibility?
