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.)

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?

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
