Anyone else having problems with the mouseover on "Log off' and "shutdown"? Also, in the screenshot it says "Turn off computer". On my computer it says "shut down"... This must be why.

Edit: I have the classic logon screen. So it must be a bug?

:(

Update: Altered Start menu to allow for the text length changing. Unfortunately this means losing the 'buttons' on the lower pane and replacing them with icons.

The download on dA is still the old version...

Anyway: Thanks for this very, very good visual style. I really appreciate it!

The text will read "Turn off computer" if you don't log into a domain. I assume you're buggering around with your work computer? I do it, too. So far IT hasn't gotten mad at me... :D

Text reads "shut down" for a classic logon no matter what, since I don't have a domain at home. Maybe because i turned fast user switch off

I AM using this VS at work though, and it confuses the heck out of IT folks logging in remotely (like one did today to troubleshoot an issue I had). They're like, uh u got Vista on here!!

I hate working on generic Windows tho! :o

Thx hornett for the update.

That is why the traditional start button is there! ;)

As for the max button, not sure why that is. Thanks for the report. Which app is that?

App is Photoshop. Those windows are the toolbar type windows. The max doesnt show properly and also it's obvious in the black one... when focus is taken away from the windows, the X button still looks like it would on a focussed window. There probably just needs to be new resources for the toolbar type windows for the Max and the X buttons... i am not that knowledgeable :|

You could probably just make those look like the styles pane in word 2k7

Those are the size 6 glyphs for the buttons. You shift the normal sized buttons and that glyph moves as well. Only the small close button is independent. Most likely you need to undo shifting of your buttons, the glyph will return to its place.

And nice work :)

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
