NX 9 Changes Windows Theme
NX 9 Changes Windows Theme
(OP)
I have NX9 installed but I haven't started using it yet because I hate the way it changes the theme of my whole system. I have transparency enabled in windows and the title bars are nice and dark (good eye relief for working all day). When I start NX9, the transparency shuts off, and the title bars are very light (all windows in all programs, not just NX9). I really don't want to hear how I can change colors or anything, I can do that and I realize that. I want any suggestions on how to STOP NX9 from changing Windows Visualization! NX8 has no problems at all...
I have "Enable Transparency" checked in NX... so that is not the issue. I think it might be a Windows setting, or a graphics card setting.
Computer specs:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB
Name NVIDIA Quadro K2000
Adapter RAM (2,147,483,648) bytes
Do you have any helpful suggestions?

If you go to MENU - PREFERENCES - USER INTERFACE, then click on the "Layout Tab"... You can change the theme to a Classic theme and check or uncheck Enable Transparency.

How do I keep AERO effects on?
RE: NX 9 Changes Windows Theme
If you still have problems after that, I'd suggest checking GTAC's list of "certified drivers", and use the latest "certified" driver for your card. If a "certified" driver is still giving you problems, contact GTAC and have them help.

I'm not sure which is more frustrating, the fact that Aero shuts off, or the fact that I can't figure out the problem!

* Make sure there isn't a massive resource hog running in the background (like a Bitcoin miner), or some spyware that shows your desktop to a remote user whenever you start NX 9.
* Have a sysadmin (if you have one) examine your system and at least make sure that this isn't some "performance optimization" they did to your workstation. Especially if the switch happens every single time you start NX 9, never otherwise, and you get no Windows alert about you resources being low.
* Make sure the video driver installed is the latest NX-certified one (as cowski suggested above), not the most recent available.
Barring all that it looks like calling GTAC is your only remaining option, short of a full system wipe and reinstall.

The Lenovo laptops we use have Nvidia Quadro cards. Along with this in Win7 came a feature called Optimus which is intended to save power by automatically switch the graphics from the Nvidia card to the "internal graphics" ( The Nvidiaa card is "paused") . The problem we had at the time was that Teamcenter did not survive the switch. We have therefore disabled Optimus in the Bios.
We had this issue a couple of years ago , don't know if the problem still exists, we still disable Optimus.
