Do you care about how your Operating System looks and the bells and whistles?

[froggyboy604]

I don't really care, so I usually turn off all the unneeded programs like Aeroglass, Windows Sidebar, Services I don't use, and all those annoying system sounds. I just play with them for a minute or two, and get bored.

Plus, I notice that the Aero Taskbar seem to take up a little more screen space then the Classic Gray theme from Windows 95-2000, so I tend to enjoy using the classic themes, so I don't have to scroll as much reading web pages.

Plus, my PC seems more fast when I turn off all the bells and whistles which I don't use or like. For example, Windows Animation, and Aero.

I spend most of my time on a web browser, or in a game, so I'm more concerned about how my programs look and feel.

My desktop PC now has Windows Aero, and I like it new style because it makes closing and opening programs a lot smoother. The only disadvantage is, your PC needs to meet the amount of RAM needed to work correctly.

No. I care first and foremost about security, functionality and ease of use.. anything else can take a back seat..

I notice changing the cursors in Windows is making my life simpler because I find the default white tiny mouse pointers hard to point, and see on white backgrounds.

I am now using a shiny/glossy big blue cursor I downloaded online, and saved to my C:\Windows\cursors folder and updated my mouse pointer settings in Control Panel> Mouse> Pointers.
