I would have a continuous wallpaper but my monitors are different sizes so I just have it cycle randomly through my collection

 

[Windam]

Simple. Also using Startisback++ for the Windows 7 start menu experience.

Thread just tells me I have a lot to learn.

 

[GavinGT]

If anyone knows how to make my title bars looks like this:

And not like this:

Please respond. We both used the same tutorial to change the title bar color, and for whatever reason I have that ugly gray box in the unfocused window and he doesn't.

upgrade was surprisingly painless

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Lots of nice desktops. I'm still waiting for a notification to download.

I love your wallpapers. Wish i could find a megapack of wallpapers like this so i can cycle them randomly.

Did it mess with any of your programs/files/settings?

 

[RedToad64]

Just found it through Google. I'm not sure who the artist is. Here's a lossless version I've uploaded. It's 2560x1440 in size.

Thanks, this will likely be in rotation for a while!

 

[robotrock]

Sorry for the Microsoft Paint compressed jpg. I just turned on the taskbar color to blue a few hours ago and am just trying it out. I think it looks nice but not sure if I'll keep it.

I didn't notice anything being changed tbh.

 

[B-Dubs]

I didn't notice anything being changed tbh.

So all your files and programs were intact? Sweet.

Other than Dualshock 4 supposedly not working, everything has been the same from background picture to well.. everything.

Had to manually install my GPU driver though, W10 couldn't find the right one and had to uninstall that one.

 

[megarockexe]

Beautiful. I think I'll just have to get a slightly different desktop background because the black taskbar is a bit too dark.

 

[Syphon Filter]

what is the default?

Here's where i'm at so far:

I had no idea you could add the other folders to the start menu. I was rockin' a big empty space from where I disabled frequently used and all that rubbish.

Much better now.

Edit: just wish they could be reordered.

Yeah, I wish you could also choose what folders you added. I save all my pictures and videos on a different drive, which means those links pretty much just go to an empty folder just for the sake of not having a big empty space.

Not very exciting I know.

Blank desktop

Desktop with start menu

I like to keep my desktops as clean and basic as possible. I'm thinking about applying a Rainmeter skin if it doesn't glitch out like crazy...

How do you get your start menu icons to not have that weird coloured box around it?

Ay how do I get my start menu double layered like that?

That is one sexy looking start menu, even cleaner than Windows 7. I've already hidden the tiles area on my Windows 10 install but how does one get such a nice start menu over all?

I couldn't find the image online so I unfortunately can't give the artist credit... But I uploaded it to Imgur for those looking to use it. (I take no responsibility for making it. It's something I found when looking for material design wallpaper) http://i.imgur.com/QaR0LKW.jpg

How do you get your start menu icons to not have that weird coloured box around it?

Assuming your using Classic Shell open up the settings, navigate to the skin tab and uncheck the box labeled show icon frames.

I'm not using Windows 10's default start menu (even though it's vastly improved over Windows 8, I still don't care for it). Instead I'm using an application called classic shell; you can download and customize it to however you want your start menu to look.

I spent a good hour fiddling in the classic shell settings until I had everything just the way I like it. All the options are there by default, you just have to find em.

Ohh. Thanks for answering everyone's questions.

 

[Thoraxes]

Mine.

 

[Kabouter]

Nothing special really

 

[Atlas157]

My favorite wallpaper atm

 

[McBryBry]

This is what I have right now. I would probably clean up the desktop more if I could stick all my icons in the start menu. I like having it sorted of general stuff, games, modding and playing with the PC, but if there's a way to organize and throw it all in the start menu..... I'm all for it.

Also, vastly enjoy the colored bars. I think the yellow goes great, over black.

 

[kraspkibble]

Here is my desktop.

 

[Judge Magister Zexion]

Really need a new monitor :/

 

[tlstls]

That's right, i have my taskbar on the right. Deal with it.

And I on the left my friend.

 

[Dusk Prophet]

Everything went smoothly apart from needing to sort my wallpapers into their own folder.

 

[Atraveller]

Here's mine:

Here is my desktop.

What's this from? Or is it just an original piece?

That's from The Witcher 3.

And I on the left my friend.

I'll complete the cycle.

Spoiler

I don't really use it up there.

 

[NotLiquid]

Question about wallpapers since this seems to be an appropriate topic for that - is it just me or does Windows 10 lower the qualities of the images? It's a bit jarring to me cause I've noticed artifacts on some of mine that have solid colors on them.

 

[Diablos]

it's so pretty <3

I know. I love it!

Can you tell me how you got your startmenu to look like that? It looks exactly like i want it to be, basic windows 7.

 

[kurisu1974]

Simple. Also using Startisback++ for the Windows 7 start menu experience.

First time I ever hear referring someone to that horrible thing as "an experience"

Start Screen 4 lyfe yo.

 

[iirate]

I'm digging W10 it so far.

 

[theusedversion]

So many people with the taskbar on the bottom... I will never understand it. It makes so much more sense to have it on one of the sides because screen real-estate is at less of a premium there. Make the switch and you will never go back. You will be used to it in no time at all.

 

[OEM]

Man this thread is beautiful, keep posting everyone.

 

[Twookie]

keeping it simple

thank you based imgur compression
