Breaking Glass

Aerobasicchange I've found I rather like Aero Glass. It doesn't make me work any better but it's a nice little bit of eye candy that makes me feel good about my computer.

But one problem is that I still don't really feel in control. The settings for Glass are linked to whether the power supply is plugged in or not, which threw me. And over the weekend something else cropped up.

It appears that not all software is compatible with Aero Glass and so Windows reverts back to Vista Basic when they are running. In this case it was OpenOffice 2.3, although I'm sure I've run OpenOffice without disabling Glass. It may be linked to the Quickstarter as I had to quit this to get Aero Glass back.

To give it it's due, it did turn back on automatically.
