Just curious of how others have their startmenu/desktop setup. Feel free to post it here!

 

That's a nice wallpaper, do you have it set to match your wallpapers color for the menu and taskbar?  It seems that way to me, or some nice color mixer settings.

Yep! Some walls give the startmenu an ugly color lol so sometimes I have to change it myself.

Is there any way to set a different wallpaper per virtual desktop, or even pre-configure the number of virtual desktops you start with?

I couldnt figure it :/ I dont think both of those features are in yet. Try reporting it in the feedback because I figure this would be obvious to MS

I am currently using the Start screen as I love the amount of options that it provides for application categorization. I want Microsoft's CEIP to show that desktop users also use the Start screen so that the option to use it will be retained in the final release.

I do like the new Start menu, especially the right-hand column with its Live Tiles, but I don't think there will be a Start menu in this release that beats the level of customization offered by Classic Shell.

I stumbled upon a way to make the Start Menu color different from the Taskbar / Window color.

 

1) In Personalization, click Color and choose the color you want for the Start Menu

2) Click on a Saved Theme

3) the Start Menu should retain the color you chose for it, and the Taskbar and Title bar should use the Theme color

 

e.g. black Start Menu and a grey Taskbar

    • I named Hitler because he is the de facto anti-semite. But you don't have to hate Jews to be a genocidal maniac. In fact, these days, so called semites are the ones acting in ways that would make Hitler proud.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
