      The dialog to adjust this was labyrinthine. It's not that it was particularly badly designed. It's that there were so many options you could change and it had to fit on a 640x480 screen with space left over so you could see the effects of your changes.

      You couldn't adjust all 3D colors. It automatically calculated the intermediate shades. If you dragged the slider, you couldn't return the original color, and you couldn't make a high contrast scheme from scratch without editing the registry.
      Some applications do come with decent looking skinnable menus that are similar to native ones. Mostly media players, like MPC-HC (all GUI hacked dark grey), or AIMP4 with dark menus (flickering without accelerated GDI). Also recent Total Commander.

      It's hilarious. You are all crying about how bad Windows 11 is. Meanwhile, you continue to use it; so people who choose to use it are part of the problem. Windows 10 (and its crap) finalized my decision to drop Windows about 8 years ago after watching that Windows 8 debacle. Windows 7 (when using Windows was considered to be the definition of sanity) was the last version of Windows I ran. And 11 (soon 12) reminds me to be thankful for making that choice years ago to ditch Windows when the ditching was good. Today, I don't know how people even use their computers today by running Windows at all.
      And I am glad now that Valve is pushing Linux gaming with their Steam Deck. Because it will make more people realize there is another option than just Windows. Linux is now at over 4% for a reason. Because Valve is proving that gaming on Linux is pretty good, and Microsoft continuously makes their OS less bearable each day. This is why Linux's market share will steadily rise.

      In the new settings you can only add 2 DNS addresses, i needed 3. So i've fired up old control panel and did it.

    You can 100% change that white background. If you use a Contrast Theme, you can customize your own Dark Mode. You can edit a lot of colors in the Contrast Themes but not everything like previous windows generations. I do know that in Win11 you can switch your appearance to Legacy, so like pre-XP. You might be able to modify the UI colors futher with that enabled but I'm not motivated enough to try, I like my Dark Theme. Also you can edit the registry and change the right click menu. I have it so there is not a 'show more..' button it opens the full menu. Also you can add paths in the registry to programs you use often and have shortcuts in the right-click menu. Editing the registy lets you do a lot, like removing the Edge search from the start menu, so annoying... my start menu searches locally only.

    There are a lot of scripts and applications that are reliant on older control panel elements and may not be compatible with newer component

    What we need is to bring back windows 7 with modern APIs and a dark theme.

    If you don’t like windows 11, go get a Mac or use Linux. Problem solved.

    I have started to notice a bunch of stuff that I actually hate about Windows, that already exists in Linux. Wasn't Windows supposed to be on top with the newest features?

    Talking about "Ninite", I didn't use that despite it makes easy to install essential programs. Already used to be with saving "setup.exe" files on my Storage 😅

    6:02 is a bit misleading. I have been using Local Accounts since Windows 8, and I have never had to sign in to my Microsoft Account and convert my Local Account just to access Office, Game Pass, or OneDrive.

    Golden tip for windows search...
    Have one drive for video's music photos.
    One drives for games.
    One drive for mods or programs.
    Click on the drive and type in on the top of the window what your looking for.
    Or click on Pc/User/Desktop/ than type in the file your looking for.

    I am waiting for Proton to get a little better and then I am completely ditching windows. No idea why windows does not make a gaming only OS that is only optimized towards gaming. I would pay for it.

      That's where Xbox comes in, although they seem to be getting out of the hardware side of that now too.

    Personally my only problems with Windows 11 is the bloatware and I have to jump through hoops to get some old games to work. Also because I was in the insiders program I'm forced to have text at the bottom that says experimental build.

    • @dreaper5813
      @dreaper5813 Před měsícem

      Meanwhile, I get no bloatware. On top of that, I am playing Windows games from the late 90's on Linux with WINE. Because WINE has better legacy support for such older titles.

      There is a setting that will turn off this message. Something to do with finishing setting up I think.

    It's good to see at least some of these are also problems on Windows 10. It makes me feel a little better about eventually needing to update to windows 11.

    You know what I think isn't wrong with 11. When you get it for free from the Internet Archive. Pre activated. And its a portable streamlined faster version..LOL

    The start menu search is for programs not files, use the file explorer for files.
