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

    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
    • New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
