Windows A common complaint heard from people who tested Vista, is that maximised windows turn black. At the Shell Blog, a fix has been presented: "In the end, we decided that we like the black and think it is the right thing to do, but we want to respect the user's color choice for users who bother to make a change. So - starting in today's build, we have significantly backed off the amount of black that is mixed in with the user's color for maximized windows. This is not particularly noticeable with the default color, but with the more intense colors like Red and Orange, you will appreciate the difference."

Just because users thought it was a bug...

It's not that people haven't liked it, it's only because people thought it was a bug. And because of this they was forced to change it.

Bad thing since I think that it was a really nice idea to turn it black on maximising, this way user would focus only on a content of the window.

It's still black, it's probably a less obvious in your face black and it blends better with your color preferences.

There are however no screenshots atm so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
