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'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
