Oh, I wasn’t really familiar with aero I guess. I thought that it was just the transparency that I needed to disable, but changing to a Windows classic theme completely fixes the problem. I just have to pick something that looks decent. Thank you. (Do you know of a way to get a solid color with the aesthetic of aero but without the effects/offloading to the GPU?)
EDIT: Here is the problem: disabling aero introduces screen tearing, which is unacceptable.
What do I do then? Without aero, the desktop vsync seems to be off. I don’t think that it’s practical to turn it off.
Jut to clarify, it’s only the MDI windows that are problematic.
