New On Screen Display Theme *Picture*

For those who don't bother looking at software/driver updates for their Thinkpads, Lenovo recently released a new version of the hotkeys driver. Here is the link:

Lenovo Support & downloads - Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP (32-bit, 64-bit) and 2000 - ThinkPad

I was pleasantly surprised to see they finally updated the on screen display theme. Here is a picture of it:



I recommend setting the fadeout time to 2 seconds. (for Windows 7, right click on your desktop and go to Screen Resolution->Advanced Settings->OSD Tab).

 

Yeah, I was pretty surprised to see the change too. I dig it though

 

This isn't new from the latest update, I don't believe. I saw this 'theme' change a bit ago on my machine.

 

I'd have to agree they're a improvement over the old OSDs, which sort of looked like they belonged to an earlier era.

 

This update occurred in January with a much earlier version of the driver. I've been enjoying it for months. http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/448220-new-hotkey-driver-available.html

 

Yup, been using it for the past few months and its definitely much more eye candy than the green stuff before.

 

Did you try clicking the link in the first post... Worked for me when I tried it...

 

I really wish that it was smaller... While it's a welcome addition it just seems to take up too much space.

 

it appears on the screen for 2 or 3 seconds. why does that bother you?

 

You can disable it or set it to go away after 1 second if you want to.

But I do kinda a agree - by having space between the bars the old one was less obtrusive.

 

i like the green one... i'm keeping it even after seeing this update

maybe it's nostalgia...
