Personalization Panel (Aero Patch) Description

Personalization Panel (Aero Patch) is a reliable solution for enabling Aero effects and themes on Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic, which normally do not sport transparency features. Unlike other editions of Windows 7, such as Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate, Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic are presented with the fewest features that do not include Aero options. However, there are a couple of workarounds, materialized in third-party software, which are able to implement transparency capabilities with few efforts. Such a solution is Personalization Panel (Aero Patch), a small utility that performs a few modifications to some system files and the registry in order to achieve its goal. It comes in a lightweight package and requires very little user intervention. In order to be able to carry out its job, the application needs full permissions, which is why it is recommended to disable all antivirus modules while running it. Besides, it takes just a few seconds to deploy, after which a reboot operation is required in order to apply the settings. Following the restart action, you should be able to experience the changes, namely transparency effects (Aero) and the possibility to experiment with themes. It should be noticeable from the first peek, by looking at the desktop taskbar: if it is transparent, much like in higher Windows 7 editions, it means the modifications were properly performed. Undoing the operation is just as simple: run the application again and reboot the system in order to restore the default Windows settings. In conclusion, Personalization Panel (Aero Patch) is the go-to solution if you want to experiment with transparency effects on your Windows Starter or Home Basic edition. Efforts are minimal and the success rate is said to be very high.
