I was wondering. Could it be the Windows 8 UI controls that are making VSTs look really bad in Acid Pro 7 or am I going to have the same problem under Windows 7 as well? If I can run in a VM and get a normal looking VST, I'd be happy. Does anyone know what I'm talking about here?

The UI look is slightly different for all programs running under Windows 8.
I don't notice a huge difference between the overall look of AP7 in Win 7 or Win 8.
Except that the edges are a little fresher in look. AP7 runs essentially the same.
I've now been running Windows 8 Pro on two different PC towers. My new tower runs AP7 slightly better than my old Intel Core Duo Quad.
All the best.

Is it still possible to run using "Classic" in Windows 8? I find other kinds of looks - Aero etc waste large amounts of space with thick edges/borders. Thanks.
