Aero Fullscreen Watcher

Aero Fullscreen Watcher is a small Windows application developed with a single goal in mind: to help you disable the Aero effects when a program is running in full screen mode.

It is designed using AutoIt (a scripting language for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting) and its main purpose is to allow you to play games with the Aero effect turned off. You can disable the Aero effect to all running programs not only to games.

Portability brings several advantages to your system. You don’t have to go through an installation process that stores entries in your Windows registry and write configuration data, as there’s no setup included. In order to run the utility, you only need to open the EXE file.

You may uninstall it from your system by simply deleting the files that you have grabbed from the Internet and copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices.

There’s not much to write about when it comes to describing the GUI. The tool adopts a clean and simplistic layout that embeds all configuration settings into a single layout.

It doesn’t include a help manual but you do no need one to decode the function of each dedicated parameter as they are highly intuitive.

Aero Fullscreen Watcher automatically detects and displays all software utilities that are currently running on your system in a drop-down list. You can disable the Aero effects for the selected process.

The Aero effects are turned off as long as the target tool remains the active foreground window. What’s more, you are allowed to enable the Aero effects with a single click and make the application run at Windows startup.

All things considered, Aero Fullscreen Watcher comes with an essential pack of features for helping you disable the Aero effects, and can be mastered by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
