Today, I invite you to discover three applications which allow you to personnalize the Windows graphical user interface Aero integrated to Windows 7 and Vista.

These applications have the same role but in a diffrent way.
Incidentally it is important to notice that they are certainly not compatible with each other...

We begin with the application made by hb860 : Aero Tuner.

Aero Tuner is a portable utility easy to use that allows you to adjust transparency, color, shadow, blur of the windows Aero interface (start menu, taskbar, etc.).



Aero transparency bothers you ? Hup! In a single click you can disable it! For the rest, you input your parameters and watch the results. You don't like the result, no problem, you can restore default DWM settings thanks to a backup system.

You like to be regularly informed about the weather in your area? So here is AeroWeather an application made by SpikeX which allows you to inquire about the weather affecting your area in an original way and in a real time.

Indeed, after inputting your parameters, AeroWeather gives you subtle feedback about the weather conditions via Aero's color scheme. Color is calculated based on minimum and maximum values.



Available for Windows 7 and Vista, AeroWeather requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or above. If you want to try it, follow this way.

Well, we finish with article with Aura.

What is Aura ? Aura is a free software for Windows 7 and Vista users which will help you to adjust automatically color of borders window, start menu and taskbar of your Windows with desktop background or active window icons.

The principle is simple, when Aura is launched, it calculates average color of desktop background image or active window icon and sets and then it applies the color to Windows Aero interface.
