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.

      Honestly... 4 wasn't fun, 5 had unlikeable, annoying, or dull characters... Yeah, to me the magic died with San Andreas.

    • Flameshot 14.0 Final

      By Copernic · Posted

      Flameshot 14.0 Final by Razvan Serea Flameshot is a free and open-source, cross-platform tool to take screenshots with many built-in features to save you time. Using Flameshot is as simple as launching, dragging the selection box to cover the area you want to capture, making annotations as needed in on-screen and saving the shot to your computer, all with a very simple and straightforward interface. Flameshot allows users to simply upload their screenshots directly to the cloud in order to easily share it with others. You can upload your image directly to Imgur with a single click and share the URL with others. In-app screenshot editing - You can choose to add an arrow mark, highlight text, blur a section (blur or pixelate an area), add a text, draw something, add a rectangular/circular shaped border, add an incrementing counter number, and add a solid color box with Flameshot's built-in editing tools. Command-line interface (CLI) - Flameshot has several commands you can use in the terminal without launching the GUI via a command line interface. The command line interface lets you script Flameshot and use it as the subject of key binds. Flameshot 14.0 release notes: This release brings major improvements to multi-monitor support, fractional scaling support, new capture workflows, and a long list of bug fixes across all platforms. Changelog: New Multi-Monitor Capture Workflow New monitor selection screen before capture for better multi-monitor and mixed-scaling support. Option to auto-capture the monitor under the cursor (X11 & Windows). Tray menu can directly select a monitor. Linux Improvements XDG Desktop Portal is now the primary screenshot method. Added legacy X11 fallback option for minimal window managers. New D-Bus capture API for scripting and automation. Windows Enhancements Global screenshot hotkeys now supported (not limited to Print Screen). New portable mode stores settings next to the executable. Clipboard now always uses PNG format for better compatibility. CLI & Platform Updates Redesigned flameshot screen command with per-monitor capture support. Added native Nix Flake support. More compact launcher UI and improved update notifications. Major Fixes Multiple Wayland stability fixes, including KDE Plasma crash fixes. Clipboard compatibility improvements for GNOME, Wayland, X11, Windows, and macOS. Fixed D-Bus hangs, capture crashes, and HiDPI region issues. Other Changes Dropped Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) support. Updated translations and build infrastructure. Intel macOS builds are no longer provided.
