Ive got the following CSS drop down menu here which is working fine.
However, im trying to achieve something like eBay where, if you hover over the menu on the top right an border appears around the menu item, and the drop down.
I thought this would be simple enough - put a solid black border around the drop down, and then a black border around the left, top and right of the menu item and set the bottom border to be white - to "cover up" the border-top of the drop down. However, despite the z-index, the drop down always appears ontop of the menu item and i cant achieve the effect im looking for.
You could push this all you want Apple, but the biggest and deciding factor in the end is the sticker price. Sure you now have some lower priced options but in the end users still get more on the PC side for less or the same price.
I'd rather they add a copilot app and copilot options into existing apps than have it wiggle it's way through the OS like the whole MSN bits have/did. The Feed in Widgets, recommended in the start menu, some of the extra stuff in file explorer, all from them.
I can at least appreciate trying to add Copilot into things that could, if used right, help. I mean, hell, adding it into the settings app so you can just type "change this setting to this" and have it actually do it, would be a huge benefit to your average user who would often call up someone like you or me and ask us how to do it for them.
Half the problem was that they had the damn MSN team as part of Windows for some dumb reason. Now that's finally been changed and we're seeing the effects with you finally being able to turn off the recommended section in the start menu.
It hasn't been a decade? Not really. The Settings app in 11 isn't the same as the one in 10. Sure the name is the same but they, probably, redid it all over again, not just changed the top UI layer.
I think the old one in Win10 is coded in a way that made it a chore to move more complicated things over. Since the change to the one in Win11, they've actually started move things over and adding things a bit quicker.
The fact is that some of the more advanced settings/options are low on the list because few users bother with them compared to the basic ones everyone will go through at some point, like changing the background for example.
