That white task bar is just....ugh

Just go back to Win 95 aesthetic

please just stick with one thing microsoft, windows 10 looks fine already (i'd post the image of the like 12 different UI styles windows 10 already contains but i don't have it on me)

finish the current design before starting a new one, thanks. Cue that image of 10 different windows scheme happening concurrently https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/515/83372166-baba-4909-8208-d71a5035f695/image.png

Current Fluent design is perfectly fine. Keep it. Expand it to the entire shell. Fucking stop it.

That's literally Windows 10 beta, from before the release in 2015. The original retail release was build 10240. A lot has changed since then.

Holy fucking shit STOP

Tbh just go back to xerox http://www.digibarn.com/collections/systems/xerox-8010/xerox-star-8010-large.jpg

Fix your goddamned shit before, consistency was the one thing windows had that I could never reproduce on Linux, and it's gone, and microsoft went and threw it away

Or Commodore 64: http://toastytech.com/guis/c64gmenu1.gif PANIC+

Disgusting, I hate rounded corners https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/542/8eb8323b-3e56-4bcd-9283-3b327a67e1b6/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/542/325cf5a4-cacd-4098-95ac-26ecc2b74b00/image.png "dated look", fuck you

Oh yay. Now we'll have rounded elements here and square ones there. They haven't even made the current Windows 10 UI consistent and they're already adding more to be inconsistent with.

bikeshedding operating system

why

time to move to the superior TempleOS

the source, and holy fuck this thread https://twitter.com/zacbowden/status/1123734930100559873?s=20 pretty much sums out how people feel about it

what is this a fucking mac?

It's an improvement, but it still looks like ass. Less than it used to, and it's a step in the right direction, but it's still dumb looking. Mmm, yes, this 200%.

JFC. Windows has become such a clusterfuck of conflicting designs and use-case intentions. It's no fucking wonder Microsoft is starting to flirt with more and more linux support. They probably can't even begin to shave off the bloat and clean up the mess under the hood. I guess this is just gonna be another "done with windows, year of linux 201x" post. But i'm still gonna say i'm pretty fucking happy that Valve is moving hard on Proton and that it's actually working as well as it does.

rip terry miss you big man

This means that Edge isn’t gonna have square corners ever, the one thing I was looking forwards to most

Well they're actually doing something about that. The so called "Core OS" project will supposedly run on all 'devices' (think ARM64 laptops, low power Surfaces and the Xbox) It's supposedly a legacy-free Windows, and Win32 apps will run non-natively through some kind of emulation (think of WOW64 on NT systems) Windows 10 as we know it today is known as "Windows Classic" and will remain updated feature-wise, but it won't be the future of Windows. When push comes to shove, NT will die off someday.

That's kind of awesome. but there's a ton of mistrust from people about how closed of a garden it will be. Microsoft has been a bit flip-floppy and indecisive in that they seem to be chasing trends in either direction a few years too late. It's not even 2 years ago that they started flirting with a more closed windows, only to seemingly get distracted for a year and then totally change directions these past 10 months. Like. it's pretty bad for Microsoft that we, the consumers can't tell what they want to do. It's even worse that they don't even seem to know which direction they want to take for the future of private consumer home computing on the windows platform. Do they want to strong-arm the private user for more control or don't they? it's a bit mixed and it definitely will impact on what the informed consumers and certain institutions end up going with for the future.

I don't think it's a problem with the entire company, but only specific divisions. Xbox has been doing a great job over the last few years cleaning themselves up after the fiasco that was the early days of Xbox One. They're letting the XGS studios do their own thing, even allowing them to fix and port old games (Halo comes to mind, also Cuphead for Switch) Windows has long seemed bureaucratic and mismanaged because it's the biggest product. Every so often, they have a nightmare project (Vista's early development), then they dist themselves off an release (Vista final release), then clean up management and actually deliver the product they were supposed to in the first place (7). We've seen that cycle since with Windows 8 and Windows 10.

God sake Microsoft, why are you incapable of making good visual interfaces. I'd love for Vivaldi's styling to be a Windows-wide option. https://i.imgur.com/zzThjJN.jpg

Rounded corners are ugly. Yes I know Xp, Vista and 7 all had rounded corners and they were ugly then too. The corners of my monitor are squared. My OCD will not allow.

That’s cool but when are we gonna get the ability to remove those fucking dogshit candy crush bloatware games? i have classic shell but there’s still bits of it showing in places

I don't really see the issue honestly. You have the dark ones to match the task bar and the light ones for everything else. I didn't even really pay it any attention until I saw people bringing it up. It's not an amazing design in general but I don't think it's bad at all, personally.
