Hello, I recently moved to Windows 10 and it's been a bit of a mixed experience—some features are surprisingly useful while others feel clunky. I’m trying to figure out how to personalize the start menu better, like adding new tiles with game shortcuts or swapping in alternatives such as Thunderbird instead of Outlook. A quick guide or a helpful link would be really appreciated. Thanks!
It looks pretty, actually—it might be the most attractive OS out there (behind OS X and Elementary OS), and it’s really charming! You can also personalize the tiles.
Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t catch that detail earlier. Compared to AERO in Windows 7, it really stands out as quite plain. Most of what you see feels very basic and uninspired. I do use a red color scheme, which is fine but not particularly attractive.
I found the transparency feature in Windows 7 really appealing. It often lets me build a consistent color scheme with almost any background image—especially the transparent, colorless option works well for everything. In contrast, Windows 10’s color themes are more limited, making it tougher to achieve a unified look. The absence of coordinated color grading and certain icons (like the trashcan) brings back memories of Windows 95 at its least favorable time.
