Whether it be Win 8.1 or 10, what does Aerolite do, is it just removing transparency? I know it changes the text from white to black on the clock and what not. I know that it still supports dwm (compositing). But is there any info on any other differences between the regular aero type desktop vs aerolite?
It exists because of High contrast themes which are included for accessibility features. Those high contrast themes use Aerolite theme.
