Windows Aero (a backronym for Authentic, Energetic, Reflective, and Open) is a set of interface and design guidelines used on Windows Vista and continued in Windows 7. The changes made in the Aero interface affected many elements of the Windows interface and how it functions, including the incorporation of a new visual look, along with changes in interface guidelines reflecting appearance, layout, and the phrasing and tone of instructions and other text in applications.

Famous quotes containing the word windows:
“Among a hundred windows shining
dully in the vast side
of greater-than-palace number such-and-such
one burns
these several years, each night
as if the room within were aflame.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
