    In the seven iso's if there are a ei.cfg file, that means the iso is with all SKU(starter, home basic....asf)

    In all the 8 iso's leaked, there are no such file, so, or they have changed SKU selection, or, more reasonably response, is that there is only one SKU(in 7989 Ultimate one) and there is no possibilities to change....

    I think that all the leaked 8 builds will be single SKU......

    Question: Do you guys actually enjoy and like HideBlur and why?

    I do have some problems w/ it because sometimes I get confused by names of other windows beneath the current on top, you know.

    Please let me know your opinions about it! Thanks, guys!

    It is definitely confusing, I tried it several times and it just plain sucks, had the same happen on some linux themes. Too much transparency (full DWM, HideBlur or whatever) is just not good when you have a lot of open windows.

    looks like you accidentally typed [/QUOT instead of
    Code:
    [/QUOTE]

    I don't like the HideBlur feature at all. I have many windows open at a time and I also find it very distracting with the windows beneath showing thru. Is there a way to adjust the transparency of the Blur. Just yesterday I was looking to disable that feature. Is there an easy way to do that.

    No you can not, "Blur" is a hardcoded DirectX Shader. If you mean that. So you can not adjust how 'effective' the Blur effect is, just normal Transparency since you can do it... since eh... yeah right Vista.

    Thanks to all the suggestions for the Blur. I don't want to turn off the transparent glass. I ran the red pill again to disable the blur. It would be nice if there was an option for the amount of Blur you could choose.

    ATI 11.6 drivers working fine with CCC working fine. But first you must enable .net framework 3.5.1 under Windows features in control panel.

    7989 with zigzagging desktop icons... Help!

    I have installed 7989 but the desktop icons don't look good to me... The edges are zigzagging, as you can see in the attachment.

    I'm using ATI Radeon HD 5730. Catalyst 11.6 is installed and CCC is fully functional. So... Anyone knows why the icons look so odd?
    Help is much appreciated~~
