Turn off Glass in command line build?

[rev23dev]

Is there a way in IA2012 to turn off the glass effect in the command window when doing command builds? You can't see the text in Windows 8 because there is no glass so the background is white with white text.

We had asked for this a while ago but it seems it's not possible in IA 2012.

Dear user,

actually it is not possible.

Ughh... that's too bad.

I don't get why it's there anyways? It doesn't add anything-- it's always been slightly obnoxious on Windows 7, and now on Windows 8 its very flawed.

Dear rev23dev,

which build of Win 8 are you using?

This is what I have on my win 8:

I am using RTM Pro from my MSDN account... but my window colors are White (because it looks better than the default blue )

Dear rev23dev,

We are using the same Win 8 version ... but I haven't changed my windows colors ... very probably this is the cause.

How do you have set the colors precisely?

[rev23dev]

It's definitely the cause.

On Desktop right click and select personalize.
At the bottom of the Personalization window click "Color"

I have selected Color 15 (the very last one)

Dear rev23dev,

So ... actually we can't do that much with it.

You can modify InstallAware to not explicitly apply this effect
