Max Norris Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 If you were around in the days of WinXP, you would have seen a couple hundred desktop posts a month. Today there is very few a month. I've been using Microsoft OS's for 20 years before that ;D But yea.. it's not that the ability to do it has dropped off.. feels like more of the desire to do so has. XP kinda needed it.. after that, meh. Apparently I'm not the only one who grew out of that phase. Nowadays it's mainly just a decent theme, a start menu replacement if that's your thing and done. It just sounded like in your previous post that you were implying it couldn't be done, if I misread that then disregard. Shiranui 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, now that Microsoft has cleaned up and streamlined the Windows UI, I've found very little reason to alter anything. XP's UI was too clutterific, and needed the addons to clean up.

Studio384 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Desktop mods peaked with WinXP and has been tapering off ever since The main reason for that is that Windows XPs interface was said to be bad, no one has complained about the Windows Aero look in Vista and onwards, there was just no reason anymore to create new styles as the default ones looked great. (Throguh I think the Windows XP style also looked great, especialy Windows Media Center edition). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Nothing too special this month. This is "vanilla" Windows 8 as there are actually some things that I don't like about Windows 8.1 and its updates.. . . I'll be replacing this operating system in 16 days anyway.Operating system: Windows 8.Wallpaper: Img1 of default Earth theme.Applications: 7-Zip, FTP Voyager, GIF Recorder, Pale Moon, VLC Media Player, and ReIconCache.The last application deserves a special mention as it was shared with me by a friend. It corrects a bug in the Windows taskbar (in Windows 7 and later) where the icon does not automatically update itself. You can download it here.

ShadowMajestic Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Backgrounds change every 30min (1 hour per monitor) out of a few hundred of them. Minimum UI as I like it (hence why I'm quite fond of Windows 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
