Nice guide. (Y)

The lite theme is different: it uses symbols instead of icons. Takes some getting used to.

I switched to the Lite theme from the main page then came into the forums and it looks the same. Is there a different link I should be using to get into the forums to see the Lite theme in here?

Thanks so much, guys. I appreciate the feedback.

I've done a ton of these kinds of Guides for the forums I Admin and people generally appreciate them, so I figured I'd do one for here since someone asked the question about icons.

Since I got such positive feedback on this one (and it's now part of the Official Neowin FAQ), perhaps I'll make some more or send mine to the Admins and let them use what they want and scrap what they can't use.

Like I said, always happy to help. Thanks again, folks! :yes:

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
