    How to disable font smoothing (antyaliasing) when Aero is runing?

    I'm was tried to disable via font settings (turn off ClearType and transparency) but still no success.

    In registry i'm changed all parameters FontSmoothing and FontSmoothingStyle to 1.
    After reboot, font looking better (for me). In menu start, programs, folders font are not smooth (yes!), but in Control Panel or other places (like, when you installing new driver and Windows ask you from where do you want take driver) font are still smooth.

    Any ideas?

    Thx for any help.

    Yes, I'm don't feel comfortable when my fonts are unsharp.
    I've got Samsung SyncMaster 913N (LCD TFT) connected via VGA port.

    In XP fonts are good, sharp and readable.

    Out of curiosity - did you played with resolutions ?
    Maybe you aren't running in the native res ?
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    CPL\System\Performance Information and Tools\Adjust Visual Effects [sidebar], uncheck "Smooth edges of screen fonts".
