Re: Windows Vista Slideshow Themes

Soon after seeing this query I Googled it and saw the excellent tweak. It suggested that in order to get the entire Theme set for slideshows, one may try boosting the WinSAT score virtually, by creating/altering the WinSATScore value.

Quote:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery\SlideShow
In the above key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named WinSATScore and assign 300 as the Value data, and close Registry Editor.

The slideshow themes should appear, and all the themes should work. Of course, there is no guarantee that this tweak with work with every graphics card on the market.

Re: Windows Vista Slideshow Themes

Note :If one or more of the slideshow theme does not work for you, you may want to check if your graphics card supports Vertex Shader 2.0 property or not. Here is an excerpt from Help and Support:

Quote:
In order to see your slide show with high-quality visuals (including videos, themes, and transitions), you need to have a subscore of 3.0 for the Graphics category in the Windows Experience Index. Some themes also require your computer’s graphics card to have a feature called Vertex Shader 2.0. To take advantage of all slide show capabilities, you might need to upgrade to a more powerful graphics card. For more information, see Ways to improve your computer's performance.
Here is the list of Slideshow Themes available:
  • Classic
  • Fade
  • Pan and zoom
  • Black and white
  • Sepia
  • Album
  • Collage
  • Frame
  • Glass
  • Spin
  • Stack
  • Travel
