I'm in love with minimal :blush:

Geoshell:

- right click desktop menu (also available via WIN+SPACE).

- top bar contains desktop, sys tray & clock.

- bottom right bar monitors CPU, RAM, SWAP, UPSTREAM, DOWNSTREAM.

- minimal home-made VS that only flattens menus to match the geoshell desktop menu (contains one line of code).

- home-made skin for top geoBar and transparent one for the bottom right geoBar.

- countless mods via ResHacker (to many to mention), mostly to tidy up WinXP and unify the look.

Are you indemnified? :yes: Well if you are not why not try the Indemnity Windowblind by Chad Ross. He has made numerous matching accesssories for Winamp, Icons galore, DX2 themes, Sysmetrix etc etc. Most of the skins come in three different colours as well. Regarding the screenshot shown there are other bits and hats off to the other authors - Wallpaper Bubbles Wallpaper by leech at DA, Cursor Abracadabra by Pixtudio, matching Indemnity Rainy by Snowman and Apps Icons mainly by Jairo and Mormegil but a special mention for the Yahoo Messenger Icon which is by Jatin over at Winmatrix who has also done a magnificent YM wallpaper as well

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If only Windows would have a toggle switch named "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible.

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
