Create a Shortcut to Enable/Disable Aero Transparency in Vista
This tip is nothing new, and seems to have been featured on dozens of sites recently, but there seems to be a misunderstanding… this mechanism will not turn off Aero or the compositing engine, it simply disables the transparency.
Manually Enable/Disable Aero Transparency
You can achieve the same result by right-clicking on the Desktop and choosing Personalize and then “Window Color and Appearance”
Create Aero Transparency Shortcut
Right-click anywhere and choose New \ Shortcut, and then enter in one of the following into the Location box to create the new shortcut.
Turn Aero Transparency Off
rundll32.exe dwmApi #104
Turn Aero Transparency On
rundll32.exe dwmApi #102
For purposes of illustration, I’ve got the same screenshot with Aero
transparency turned on and off… but I really am just trying to show off
the fun Mario wallpaper.
