Just curious: How are all of you providing feedback, if all you're doing is undoing the hell out of it with all those customizations?

It depends on how they are doing the customizing.

 

I attached the StartScreen, AppScreen, *and* the MiniStart - because sometimes I use MiniStart and sometimes I use StartScreen/AppScreen.  I can switch from one to the other at need.  MiniStart is better than the Start menu - however, that is primarily because it's clutter-resistant.

Fixed.

We can fix it ourselves while still providing feedback.

Obviously the UI isn't on the top of their list, or else it'd look better.

Preview is more for how it works over all.

calm down there, guy.

Not sure how you're reporting accurate feedback when the TP has been altered from it's intended state.

We have been beta testing OS since XP days... we could modify the themes/shell as the way we like. MS does not care what you do with it.

 

That's why it is called developer preview and themers/tweakers can create their themes/tweaks ready by the time RTM/final version releases. 

 

Think about that. That's why people checking the OS out and make a hotkeys/features list for everybody to see.

 

Some people leave the feedback to MS ... Some don't... all they do is play around...  they don't care as long as the feedback is received from the billion users and they provide the fix/features added in the next release.

Sorry for the late reply, it's a theme I created called "Silk". I've just updated it to Windows 10 Tech preview: http://link6155.deviantart.com/art/Silk-for-Windows-10-Technical-Preview-487071428

That looks sexy. I have to try it out when I get home from work. Do you have to run a theme patcher to make this work?

Most of the questions they ask are not related to visual, but rather how functional a feature is in Windows 10. I think that having a different theme isn't going to affect your feedback on something like how well live tiles work or how easy it is to snap windows.

How come no one added custom tiles to the start besides me? lol

 

I messed around with it.  But ultimately, I prefer no tiles.  My VM is stock cept for removing the tiles from the start screen and adjusting the color to be darker.  Used to customize the heck out of XP back in the day tho. 

Not sure how you're reporting accurate feedback when the TP has been altered from it's intended state.

There are plenty of non-UI aspects of Win10 that can be given feedback on. Plenty of under-the-hood things exist in Win10 that don't rely on the UI. The Feedback tool is there for things like program compatibility, etc.

    • 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.
