Sergio Miranda Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hi, I think it's about time to get rid of that Windows 7 graphics when a project window is minimized. See picture attached... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckebaby Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Any suggestions what to replace it with ? because it is a window and needs to be there for minimizing, restore, closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Miranda Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) I think it should get the Windows OS own graphics. See an example with PHOTOSHOP when working window is minimized.... Edited February 1, 2020 by Sergio Miranda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 This seems to be a default Windows thing. Software makers can alter this if they choose but apparently most prefer to use the default. Here's some chatter about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Dang, I didn't even notice it, maybe because to me, that Windows 7 look is still the "right" UI. The rounded corners, all that, it really did not need "improvement." It's a known psychological phenomenon, human beings feel more comfortable looking at things that are rounded than we do things that are pointy and square. Walt Disney believed that this was part of why Mickey Mouse outlasted Felix the Cat. Felix has pointy ears, Mickey has rounded ears. If you look at guitars that have staying power on the vintage market, it's the ones that are all curves. We make fun of the '80's pointy ones. No matter how well made they are, they'll probably never have similar long term lasting value that a curvy guitar will. Now, no matter how much I appreciate and admire how well Windows 10 runs, I have to stare at those danged square corners for hours at a time. Ouch! Let me have the earlier look as a theme, please! But yes, Cakewalk should look like Windows, whatever the current version of Windows is. Floated Inspector and Browser etc. windows have the W10 look, and so should the Track View.

Jim Fogle Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 A user's idea of how Windows looks depends on the Windows theme and display settings you set the operating system to use. You can make Windows 10 look like Windows 7 or earlier if you desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
