i agree. one thing that i think changed in vista/svr2008 is that classic seems to have big/awkward window borders compared to 2000/xp classic which i think is what turns people off mostly. and the newer start menus just dont look good in classic either

You're not meant to be running classic unless you really need the older app compatibility.

The classic theme does not determine an applications compatibility with the OS. Compatibility is based on low level changes in the OS such as the kernel.

Some old apps are barely usable without Classic...

classic is listed as an older theme under personalization no? its meant to be there if someone wants the classic look of windows

anyway, went looking and saw that aero (and classic in vista/2008/7) has border padding value of 4, which makes the borders look pretty ugly for the classic theme. reducing that value makes classic look more like xp/2003

Windows Classic is the default native visual style for Windows Server and thus won't be removed nor changed. Even on the desktop side it is meant as a fallback solution in case of problems with certain legacy apps, broken video drivers etc.

That doesn't mean you should throw your entire OS into Classic. What's wrong with the compatibility option "disable visual themes" and "disable desktop composition"?

Does anyone know what that lighthouse icon in the tray is? It's been bugging me forever.

It's called 'Windows Solution Centre' Basically when you have messages about Updates, crashes etc, it all goes into this 'Solution Centre' and the Icon notifies you of any notices and stuff and keeps a small log of what notices have been shown.

Cool, thanks. Man, I can't wait to try this out.

    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
    • "Learning" and "starting" are fine uses of AI. The moment that crap falls into the final game? Lost a sale from me.
    • Don't worry, the majority of its members still suffer from heavy TDS, so these White House simping posts will continue being few and far between.
    • If you're using a webcam for Zoom calls, then any 720p or 1080p cam will do. If on the other hand you want high quality video for streaming or recording, then consider using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because 99% of 4k webcams will have a tough time achieving same results.
