so we are going to be stuck using grey window frames?

 

changing colors has no effect on window frames. only the taskbar, start menu and login screen.

 

I could be wrong but when you go into settings and change your colors, the preview window that gives you an idea of how it'll look also shows a open window that changes color along with the taskbar and start menu.  So I'm thinking window frames will also change color to match your menu and taskbar, just not doing so yet.  I think right now they are locked to either light or the dark theme, maybe for testing those before they let users go crazy with colors.

I testing with windowblinds and it works great for windows. but the taskbar bugs out and spreads my pinned icon across the whole taskbar.

i noticed on the last build that the colour palette was locked to windows theme but i sync with the server so it always loads the last theme i used 

are quotes cross boxing they seem to be jumping to random placeholders of existing random quote ????

Moving a tile group to the 3rd column of the start menu in fullscreen view crashes the start menu, even after reboot it can't be opened.

Does anyone know how to reset the start menu layout in order to solve the problem of start menu not showing up?

It also happened in a virtual machine, so better don't try it out ;)

Please , don't even try to use Google Translate , it's awful ...

I asked if it's there a Romanian Language Pack avaible .

'' Your '' translation says definitedly something else , it is not even about to be what I've said .

You asked, and he clearly wrote no in English right above the screenshot.

1.5 million people trying to grab the new 10061 update i bet microsoft's servers are smoking lol 

There are also torrents of this build (took zero seconds, as they are at the Usual Suspects).  Here is what I have found so far:

 

1.  You can upgrade (in the pre-10 manner) from 10056 to 10061 - I did this with my desktop and the development notebook.

2.  Mount/upgrade (from 8.x) still works - that also means that using third-party image-mount tools (Virtual Clone Drive, Daemon Tools, etc.) should also work (Windows 7 and Vista).

3.  And i have an idea what the (TWS) is before an earlier iteration of this build, and 10066 - Target Windows Seven.  (That would also explain the different RSA key - these two builds target a specific upgrade case - Windows 7-based upgrades.)  With that being the case, OF COURSE upgrades from 8 and later won't work.

Windows 10 is rather Linux - looking by what I've seen in the latest leaked builds .

P.S : No Romanian Language Pack there yet ?

Not news - Windows (on the desktop) is OFTEN compared to Linux; in fact, it's been the case since back to XP, if not 9x.  (A good half the features having nothing to do with Modern appeared in Linux first -- such as the disk-image mounting, for example.)  And thanks to GNU, it's not exactly rocket science.  (More like good ideas traveling.)

I meant the UI tasks arrangement ...

For me , it seemed to be exactly opposite .

Moreover because W7 came out after Vista which got me the early '' flawless '' Desktop Enviroment for a XP SP3 user .

Say what?

      Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
