Vista's shadows
-
Something's a little weird here[^]. If the Aero windows are meant to be glass then why do they cast a dark shadow? And if that dark shadow radiates uniformly around the window and is viewable by us then that would require the light source to be closer to the window than our view point. Why can't we see the light source?. I'm scared and confused. :~ cheers, Chris Maunder

I'm more puzzled why they pushed the minimize/maximize/close buttons up to the edge and shrunk them, but kept the title bar large. It's so utterly pointless, it leaves me baffled. On top of that, many of the windows I've seen have no title and place a huge top bar below the title bar which uses up a relatively huge amount of space on top of many windows. While I like a lot about Vista (or at least don't mind it) far too much of it seems to be "we did it because we could." Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke
