Wow that's an awful lot of brown...
Yeah, it really doesn't work with the accent colour. Should just be black or white.
And that border is eww.
Still, we've got a few months before release.
personally i think it looks nice, just get rid of that awful white border and it's good

It feels like a pain to hit on a tablet, both in the corner, and even right next the application expander
I think the new build broke my audio. It plays through my speakers fine normally, but when I connect my headphones to the front panel of my PC it cuts the noise from my speakers as it should, but no sound comes through the headphones either.
Headphones work when plugged into the rear audio out (used by speakers).
It does seem to switch the audio over correctly but it's just silent once it does.

How stable is this build? I might install it, since I'm not doing anything today.
Do you still get an auto update to the next build when it's released, or will I have to reformat?

Powershell is broken for me
Downloaded it. Start menu is pretty crashy, but I can live with it I think.
Okay start menu is so crashy it's not possible to use the start menu... like, it works for a minute and then not at all until I restart.

Actually the background is mostly grey, so it's a little odd

Possibly the release date leaked as late July:

Can believe that, the OS looks pretty ready to me
But fuck I'd much prefer if the notifications menu was like the charms menu, black but still uses accent colours
[t]http://i.imgur.com/S3D58zv.png[/t]
Don't worry it can be black (and it looks 1000000000000000 times better imo)
Trouble with that option is that it also makes the taskbar and start menu black, rather than using the accent colour. I prefer it all this way anyway so it doesn't bother me, I think it looks sexy af (except that stupid border round the notification centre which i'm sure is temporary)
I'm guessing the same option makes it all white (or really light grey) if you've got the light theme on, but they don't let you switch yet so dunno.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;47560853]Can believe that, the OS looks pretty ready to me[/QUOTE]
Definitely. Even now with all it's little weird looking bits, I think the OS itself looks a bit more visually polished than Windows 8 was. Certainly on the desktop anyway.
Looking at concept art produced for the final design of all the apps, as well, it's gonna look awesome, and it's really not far off. Stuff like visually intergrating the top bar into the app, rather than just having it a dull grey, for example, is gonna look amazing and won't be too hard to implement. Like in this official mockup of the people app. Imagine all the apps looking as good as that.

The consistent new back button in the top left of almost every app is gonna be really good too.
It's still quite buggy though.
I'm really getting into all this transparency as a subtle visual flourish as well. Like, if you're in tablet, you can see just a little bit of your background through the navigation bar when you're in a full screen app.

been like this since i installed win 10
[QUOTE=kaukassus;47567396]Why[/QUOTE]
and?
You used to be able to change your avatar in windows 8 xbox games
tbh i'm worried that microsoft won't be able to finish by july
it all seems rather unfinished right now
I sure hope that by "release", they mean "to manufacturing", not GA.

Who thought left was a good idea[/QUOTE]
I think they look better, just needs the blue fill on the second state.
I thought it was round because its function as a boolean state control was just a different version of a radio button which is round. So I guess I didn't see it as an inconsistency.
[QUOTE=Scratch.;47567505]and?

Thinking about it, chaning xbox avatars was something microsoft wanted to be part of a selling point for the windows phone 7
It's really odd thinking about WP7, since it used metro

I fucked up and made my taskbar entirely transparent. It's actually kinda nice looking:

[QUOTE=Butthurter;47580785]i dont get why it isnt even an option[/QUOTE]
Now is the chance to at least try and get it made to a feature by mass suggesting it.
It would be so nice

How did you fuck up? I wanna know cause that looks fucking hot. Centering it would be perfect.
that's some chrome os level shit
i love it
For those who want to use my beautiful mistake themselves, download this file [URL]http://www.glass8.eu/files/SetWindowCompositionAttribute.7z[/URL]
then in cmd, change to the directory where the extracted .exe is and run this:
SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd accent 3 0 0 0
The only reason I figured this out is because 10061 won't make my taskbar/startmenu/etc anything other than black. The completely transparent bar is very unstable though, and will eventually revert, one way or another.

Can you send me that background?
My 10049 install seems to hang when upgrading to 10061 and ends up reverting, is there any way I can get any log of this or something so that I can report the failure?
Are they still going to let everyone upgrade for free?
