AussieM8 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Hi all, I have noticed for the first time now with DCS World 1.2.0 that you get a pop up screen bottom right hand corner saying (The Color scheme has been changed to windows 7 basic, A running program isn't compatible with certain visual elements of windows) like you do with Microsoft FSX when loading a mission. I have not seen this happen in any previous versions of DCS. Has anyone else seen this? should this be happening now?

Nirvi Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 There's a new option called "Disable Aero Desktop" in the options screen. Unselect it and it should be ok. Serious uglies Discord 4YA - Project Overlord WW2 Server My DCS Videos
airdog Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 For all those running Helios you want to unselect it. Helios needs aero running.

71st_Mastiff Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 For all those running Helios you want to unselect it. Helios needs aero running. also anyone running USB's need to do the same.

71st_Mastiff Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 What's the advantage of disabling Aero? eats more video ram. and disables other .dll's for full screen and colors.

EtherealN Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Aero can "hog" graphics resources on the computer, so if you want to get some extra horsepowers for your game you can consider disabling Aero. I don't know how much of a difference it'll make though. Windows 7 will also sometimes propose the change on it's own, if it is detecting that this might benefit you. this is basically a Windows function, not something directly tied to a specific game, AFAIK.

BI6MAC Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Hi all, I have noticed for the first time now with DCS World 1.2.0 that you get a pop up screen bottom right hand corner saying (The Color scheme has been changed to windows 7 basic, A running program isn't compatible with certain visual elements of windows) ... Has anyone else seen this? Yes, I was having this same problem and like the fix posted below it all has to do with the disabling the "aero" button under the Options menu. Not only does this "aero" button affect the Windows 7 color scheme compatibility but more importantly, it will prevent you from using your mouse to select the "Quit" button after hitting the ESC key when in the Training Missions. This is such a critical button for most, if not all, Windows 7 users and I don't know why the programmers left this button un-checked by default??? Edited August 11, 2012 by BI6MAC
Sabre Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 also anyone running USB's need to do the same. Mastiff, I know it's old, but what did you mean by USB needed Aero? You wanted to enable Aero for 'USB's' by unticking that 'Disable' box, didn't you? Could you elaborate on this? Thanks, Sabre.
EtherealN Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 I'm guessing he meant USB monitors, which some people use to export the MFCDs. (Coupled with those MFCD button rings you can buy, this can make a really nice controller on the A-10C.)
