So I decided to simply smash a Windows 8 VS together for the real minimalists ^^

(download below)

Here's a preview:

1) Download uxstyle for windows 8 at http://uxstyle.com (or patch your system files)

3) Select Minimal at personalization settings.

4) Download http://winaero.com/download.php?view.31 and make borders minimal (Recommended)

4) Win :rofl:

I have a Mac, where is that wallpaper from?

I like that minimal style it must be said.

I made it myself, it's inside the zip so if you want the wallpaper just download the zip ^^

Panda X has released a alpha version ^^ http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1737.0 , seems you don't observe the forums enough xD

You should also try simplifying the icons. It would look much better then. Just a monochromatic symbol for Music, Pictures, Videos and etcetera.

I'm not such a super minimalist myself, just quickly made this for the people that wanted something minimal :p

Are you useing a different front renderer or does Windows 8 do something different?

Good eyes you got ^^

I'm using gdipp to render my fonts, looks better in my opinion :D

    • If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.
    • Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"  
    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
