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!

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
