I actually like the aero interface. But I was wondering if there was a way to automate turning it off when on battery power and to turn it on when plugged in?

that would be sweet!

thanks

Aero's initialization and inclusion is based on hardware performance and configuration by the user, not power monitoring.

You might be able to write an app to check the battery level every so often, and make a call to adjust Aero yourself. There may even be a little app out there already.

I'd say check around at download.com or something for vista power utilities.

Good luck.
