OMG, why is it so hard for them to make proper icons? you just type "trash bin icon" in google image search and find dozens of competent alternatives or at least some with right thought direction.

If you don't like the icon then change it yourself when the OS is released.

Win10 looking more and more like the picture ms showed awhile back in their feedback program.

This lends credence to your previous statement that "TP builds are not the state of progress of different branches of windows 10."

transparent task bar is also in this build. Some start screen changes as well (placement of power off and expandable start screen).

 

Wait are you saying they're actually still working on the start menu/screen and adding the features they promised they would add that was lost when they did the XAML... now why didn't I bookmark the guy who was going on for pages how none of this was coming back :p

Here you go.

:sleep: @this thread. My god my eyes hurt. I'll be so glad when this is all over, and RTM is released, so I can read another complaint thread on the same issues such as those I just got finished reading.  :punch:

Those new icons are fine with me. If you don't like them, you can change them. At least they are somewhat consistent.

they're trying to somehow make it in between "flat" and "familiar" (in desktop sense) ending up with some really odd cartoonish designs. As I see it, the only way for W10 to look professional is to settle with one-color flat style and if possible adopt the perspective of Windows/Office/Store logos

New Clock UI default now:

Looks like Microsoft might be getting round to that light/dark theme now.

Is light/dark really the best way to go though? I know light kind of ends up looking old with the grey, unlike iOS with the stark white "modern" look. Then, the dark theme is too dark everywhere with very little color. 

Homegroups almost always work if you're not using a third party firewall (in my experience at least.)  That's why I gave up on third party firewalls.

Try Wired, Wireless N/AC w/ 2.5 and 5 Ghz with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. They do not always work.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
