Central theme Windows Aero technology

The more advanced Aero technology is, the more it will be three years after the emergence of Aero technology. Windows Vista, which was previously released by Microsoft, is Aero. Microsoft has also applied Windows Aero technology in Windows 7, which is the central topic of its graphics and user interfaces. We often talk about Windows Aero technology. It is estimated that many people do not know what it means. This article provides a detailed explanation.

According to Song Zou, a member of the Windows 7 desktop experience team, Windows 7 Aero includes the following three features: Aero Shake, Aero Snap, and Aero Peek.

Aero Shake:

When you open multiple program Windows in Windows 7, you can select a window, hold down the mouse, and then shake the window, the other windows will be minimized to the taskbar, leaving only the window you selected. Of course, if you continue to shake the selected windows, the minimized windows will be restored.

Aero Snap:

The Aero Snap function automatically adjusts the size of the program window. Drag the window to the bottom of the screen to maximize the window; drag the window to one side of the screen to display a half screen. If you drag another window to the other side of the screen, the two windows will be displayed side by side. Pull the window from the edge of the screen and the window will return to its original state.

Aero Peek:

When you hover your mouse over the taskbar program icon, Aero Peek allows you to preview and open the program window. You can click preview thumbnail to open the program window, or close the program through "X" in the upper right corner of the thumbnail.

Zou pointed out that there are 8 to 9 developers and 8 to 9 Testers in the new taskbar of Windows 7, and the owner of each function must communicate with each other every day to maintain synchronization. Sometimes, developers will find more than 300 patches in a day. The feedback from testers of Windows 7 Beta and RC versions also gives the Aero team developers a lot of feedback from the real world, this makes Windows 7 greatly improved in many aspects.

Zou does not give too much information about the next generation Windows client operating system Windows 8. However, we are certain that Microsoft has already moved its focus to Windows 8 development.

A Microsoft spokesman said that when Microsoft was developing Windows Aero technology, it wanted to provide users with a "real, energetic, reflective, and open" user experience.
