Classic Theme.

[SThompson86]

I have noticed that some techs here in my department, run the Windows classic theme no matter which OS it is. We recently upgraded to WIndows 7 and the first thing these few techs did was change their theme back to Classic.

I am just wondering if I am missing something here? I personally like eye candy, but these guys prefer that windows 95 gray look lol.

Anybody else rock the classic theme?

All of my machines use the classic theme.

I love eye candy.. And with the eye candy you get some new features to. Personally I tend to look forward and not backwards. The classic theme is so 20th century. lol...

Tell the boys to get with the times or the themes..

On vista it improves performance noteably, but I prefer the classic theme (when I'm not running linux that is). On a Vista machine watch the memory usage of 'dwm.exe' plummet when you revert to a classic theme

I tried classic and I really do not mind it in other words I could use it and not miss anything, for I do not really use or did not use any of the new features.

I have been using the classic view for a few hours now, and it seems easier for me to rid around and do tasks, for there isnt any creature comforts that get in my way it is just raw.

I feel so alone on this issue.. Oh well.. The only time i use the classic theme is on my server. I notieced that it took a hit with the Aero stuff. On my netbook once its on battery power it goes to a non-aero theme which I like.

I run classic theme on all the xp boxes that I manage, speeds things up considerably when you are only running 512 of ram. I am running win7 on my box though and I have everything turned on to be fair I have 3GB of ram in my lappy.

On my system i have 4GB of ram and i am running so many stuff programs in the background that i cant even slow down my computer.. A few days ago I forgot that i had 2 games running at the same time while surfing the web and forgot that they in fact where running. Plus i had all the eye candy running in windows 7 and the system never slowed down.

I use classic on all of my computers as well. I still think it's the best layout.
