How do you organise tiles so they have a heading? EG Metro, Fun

On the Start screen, down in the lower right corner the minus sign and you'll zoom out to see all the groups of tiles. Right-click on a group and an option will come up below where you can rename the group. Type a name and you're good to go!

Really cool metro look. Can you share the trash and computer icon and the rainmeter weather widget too please?

The Computer icon is from a set of Token icons I got on Deviantart: Devine Icons. If you do a search for Devine Icons in the Customization > Icons > Dock Icons section, you'll be able to snag the whole collection (black also).

Trash bin is from Token Icon set but I can't remember what the name was. Moded I think, but the blue ones. You can do a similar search for them also on Deviantart

The Rainmeter Skin is called 'My Skin' and it has all kinds of different widgets to put up. The clock I'm using is from the My Skin\Computer\Clock\12hr\clock_small.ini. I think I changed the font though to Segoe Semilight. I also got it from Deviantart.com

Gone are the days where Microsoft wallpaper packs used to be embarassingly low quality and bad. The desktop is using the "Decking the Halls" theme.

As you can see I'm not the biggest fan of desktop icons :) Running from my 13" 1600x900 laptop on a Dell U2412M.

Taskbar is on the left because I love vertical space.

Systray icons are: battery, switchable hybrid graphics, wifi, sound, 3G/WiFi/BT switcher and Dropbox :)

Very nice pictures! But how can I name my categories like your's on your Windows 8 Metro screen? For example, how do I add the names "Metroland", "Office 2013", etc...

Thanks!

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
