Recently we posted about a new feature called "Aero Auto-Colorization" found in Windows 8 build.
Windows 8 to Feature Aero Automatic Colorization
"Aero Auto-Colorization" is the ability to automatically configure the color of Aero elements, like the Start Menu, Windows Explorer windows, and the taskbar based on the desktop wallpaper.
Now you can get the same functionality in Windows Vista and 7 using a freeware "Aura".
Aura is an excellent program developer by Stealth2010 which calculates average color of desktop background image or active window icon and sets it as Aero Glass color. It works like color hot-track in Windows 7 taskbar.
It works in Windows Vista and 7.
Thanks to our reader "Bill" for sharing it...

out of the topic: i just noticed a new site theme used in this site. It kinda uses the Metro UI concept except for buttons though. AM I right VG?

^^ We are using this theme since a few months. It was created to reduce loading time. It sure provides Metro feeling. ;)
