DX12 on Windows 7 forcing Basic Areo Theme

So I was able to discover the issue I was having earlier. It seems since around 8.2 running WoW in DirectX12 mode on Windows 7 is causing windows to force Basic color scheme. Changing back to DirectX11 solved this.

Can anyone else reproduce this? Is this an issue with WoW or something on Windows end due to DX12?

Hey Aibell,

This was an intended change for DX12 on Windows 7. We have a thread here where it’s being discussed, and there is a workaround command there that you can use to opt out of the aero change.
