Tried to launch Photo v1.5.0.39 on Windows 7 x64 with nvidia video card.
Program presented a warning, saying:
"Windows aero is not activated. This leads to rendering problems and slow speed. Please choose an Aero desktop theme."
1. This is a company workstation where all aero themes are deactivated and users have no possibility to activate them.
2. With a strong Multicore-CPU and large ammounts of RAM it is unclear to the user why a desktop theme(!!!) should decide whether to run or not.
3. The message suggests that only the speed will be slow. Not that missing aero prevents startup at all.
Because the machine has much CPU-Power and 8GBs of RAM and slow speed would be acceptable for my usecases i would appreciate the program would leave me a choice after displaying the waring:
"OK, continue with slow speed"
"Cancel"
