man so little changes anymore

Guilty as charged

I use my laptop for school and work, which both limit the extend of the changes I can make.

And I don't have the time or experimental readiness to systematically change or patch the windows icons in W7 - I did find a nice set of icons to use on my taskbar though; I think they're very usable and match well with many uncustomized program defaults.

I lost my customizing interests after moving off XP. Windows Vista and Windows 7 have proven to me that very little customizing needs done anymore. The only thing I changed on my Win7 box is the theme - I'm using FediaFedia's Windows 8 for Windows 7 theme.

The visual style is "Work," by Neiio.

It's part of the Appows2010 release: http://neiio.deviantart.com/art/APPOWS2010-157033415

I assume the clock's font is just controlled by the visual style? I certainly didn't take any extra steps to change it xD

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
