Ah didn't even realise it had changed name lol. Think I will try out a white theme for a change see what it's like.

 

[wiiija]

It takes a while to adjust after using dark themes but its a nice change

@wiiija Your latest light W11 theme looks really nice. The only change for me would be to tile view the Window that shows your drives, so it would then show the bar type graphic which indicates how full each drive is. I do find that useful.

would like a nicer windows look but i dont want to run bunch of bloat for looks. Why cannot we not have MS add this in as default

I usually have it like this, though not in dark mode because for some reason the separators are bright white and it looks dreadful.

Simple, effective

I've since put the explorer address bar back on as I couldn't get on with using keyboard shortcuts, many years of using the address bar and I cant live without it. Also gone for a darktop in explorer.

Using startallback after seeing others use it. (trial atm) only want it for traparent dock mode

2x 4K Screens, so reduced size for forum right screen in main as its my 48" left is purely for video/music watching while gaming

No love for this thread....lets have a bump.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Oled desktop.

 

[Philtor]

All I see is a black rectangle?

 

[wiiija]

I dont really customise now since 11 as I think it looks fairly nice anyway, I do mess about with Rainmeter a bit though.

 

[uncle_rufus]

11 does look nice... keep thinking about changing but trying to time it right and keep second guessing myself - will all my stuff work etc. most likely massively overthinking it

 

[Donnie Fisher]

It does ‘look’ nice, but if you’re quite entrenched in a windows 10 way of things, you mind find it annoying …. Cause I do!

 

[Andybtsn]

@wiiija, IOS widgets in W11? Tell me more...

 

[mrk]

Found some old desktops lol.

2009:

2022 (now):

Funny to think that 2010 install is the same install as I'm using now, just in-place upgraded over the major Win versions.
