does it get any better?
Beauty
Yes. Enable Windows Classic theme.
This, Windows vsync is shit
I'm afraid not, mouse
it's better on XP
/thread
Not by a whole lot, but it does.
>not TempleOS
what's wrong with it?
Linux has no vsync at all
Yeah, if the start orb wasn't bigger than the task bar
>Linux has no vsync at all
[citation needed]
How's this theme?
>theming windows
Theming windows to make it look better, mmm I wonder
yes user
>Iridium
>Outlook as mail client
>Excel

i like mine better
>Linux has no vsync at all
wat
He means he used his proprietary nvidia card ten years ago and it didn't play ball with common vsync techniques.
Anyone who is not using the default theme and wallpaper have serious psychological issues and requires therapy
Post wp pls
Thanks. ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ
Yes.
[spoiler]no, this is Windows 7[/spoiler]
>not using a plain black wallpaper
>This copy of Windows is not genuine
Best background ever
>Not using autokms tools.
Just installed it today. I'm a happy person.
Is it possible to make Windows 10 look like 7 or Vista?
>This copy of Windows is not genuine
is sort of an oxymoron because authenticity cannot be copied
when a user is identified the license becomes an accessory, therefore the value of price paid legitimizes the bond between OS and user when data is mined equally and ubiquituously, amortizing the fee
in b4 free winblows
What? Bond between OS and user?
It's your OS, not you pet
Yes, install Shine 2.0.
Install Tango icon patcher instead of the default ugly ass icons.
a transaction is a contractual agreement
I didn't know 7 is as moddable
It is, and it's beautiful. That theme is my number one priority on a fresh install.
I cannot fucking stand Windows 7 Aero. Awful. So awful. So dated. So inelegant. So cheap looking. Provoking depressing memories of outdated office terminals. It's. Just. Shit.
this, and also be autistic and try to make everything resemble older versions of windows, pic related

t-thanks
Yes. Windows aero is one of the worst UIs to exist. Basically anything is better. Windows 8's ui is bad but it's still better. Classic ui. Mac UI. Inferno's Tk ui.
win8 looks better but its definitely way fucking worse to use
It's basically the same to use.
there are lots of themes available for windows 7, it's on par with the golden age of windows theming which was back when XP was king for Microsoft
Surely you mean the opposite. Basic theme looks awful, trailing artifacts is a thing from the 90s, and double buffered vsync means I haven't seen a screen tear in years.
well... I know what I'm doing later
i'm not convinced screen tearing even exists. i've never seen it before, even in games
That's awesome, I love that!
i like modified classic theme personally. not going to switch from 7 until atleast 2020, unless linux gaming support improves. otherwise, i'll have a main linux rig and a windows rig that's used only for gaming
>it's on par with the golden age of windows theming which was back when XP was king for Microsoft
that's good news
the added glass effects help too
not to mention better everything
ayy
You need to have Aero/DWM turned off and vsync turned off.
Nanami-tan.info.
even 8.1?
I thought they had this shit on lockdown?
thanks bro
Aero really was beautiful, and Windows 7 further refined it from Vista. But, I like where Microsoft is heading with their Fluid design. I think it's a good compromise between flat and transparency.
Win 7 user for life man. Standards ain't gonna change anytime soon as to make it obsolete. I got spare ram/cpu/mobo/graphics card in case i need parts. ATX PSU standard will still be with us long long time, Sata will to (bus speed will increase but it'll all be backward compatible just like now plug sata III drive into sata I port and it work thanks to jumper setting). IF MS wants to go back to pure flat look they should've just gone back to the Win 9x/2000 desktop. But hey whatever.
I think Vista looked better imho, at least out of the box. I'm not sure about WMP but the version Vista shipped with was the best looking release of this software.
I 100% agree with you about Fluid. It looks amazing. Unfortunately, Windows 10 is malware as a service and I won't install it.
I HAD Wangblows 10. Then it fucked up my gpu drivers and I had to do a clean install.
Windows 7 for life
This. I don't really care for 2020. Chances are:
1) I'll be secured from 99% of the vulnerabilities found afterwards just by using a hardened browser and a properly configured firewall.
2) Chances are Microsoft will still release important patches for Windows 7 after that date due to it being still used. Same as they released a XP patch for WannaCry.
Gonna have to agree to a point. If I could swap out 7's taskbar appearance for vista's, I would.
it's so comfy and autistic, i like it.
any black theme for windows 7? Not a malware please.
we did it reddit!

I liked the icon set. the glass folders & shit were SEXY. As was the wallpaper.
lol
How to do this on win10
>netscape
newfags are not worthy
Get with the times nostalgiafags
I've been seeing more or less that for the last 6 years (since i finally took the sevenpill) feels good man, i was the one person in a 30 mile radius of my home that actually used vista
beauty? it's still shit looking
but at least theres no telemetry
turn off small icons
Basically it goes like this:
Windows 7: A fuckton of themes and whatever you could want with em
Windows 8.1: Plenty of themes as well, but now the file explorer has been changed so you have to restore it back to what Windows 7 had
Windows 10: People make themes for it, but I don't know why, since updates break them over, and over, and over, and over, and over. It's pointless and it's frustrating.
In a way sort of similar to macOS, except in older versions of macOS it wasn't patching some obscure system files, there was software for theming. Now there isn't because SIP and people don't want to produce software that requires disabling a feature like that.
Some people can't genuinely see it. I don't know how it's possible not to see it, but I've shown it to a friend and he couldn't tell the screen was tearing up. I could point exactly where it was tearing.
A lack of vsync in a modern desktop with modern hardware makes absolutely no sense.
Also
It's too broad, but an issue you usually have on linux -is- indeed, even nowadays, tearing on applications despite apparently enabling vsync.
With KDE up until last year on my 280x I couldn't legit get that shit to work fast if I enabled vsync at all. It was sluggish, animations would work poorly under open source drivers which everyone love and admire.
With anything that used Compiz it was a mess. Because I would have to point out that X application should also use vsync on the settings and for some reason Chromium was listed with a different name under the settings manager, so it would never enable it despite it being there. So basically even Ubuntu gave me issues there.
And on XFCE I would have to use Compton, otherwise enabling vsync would only affect the desktop as well while leaving every other application unaffected.
Here comes the solution
>way fucking worse to use
>oh no, that start menu I almost never use is fullscreen instead of a menu
>oh no, I have to use 1 piece of free software if I ever want to use it
>oh no, there's now a checkbox for hiding and showing files on the file manager instead of having to open up a window, clicking a tab, looking for said checkbox and having to enable it or disable it every goddamn time
>wait a minute
You call that good or pretty ? Any single unix based distribution even with fucking kde looks better than that. Windows has always been both ugly and awful.
Would like that wallpaper please.
my niggers
Yeah, it's not bad hey... I prefer a more dark theme but my Windows 7 install is basically stock.
I'm the only one who likes windows aero lmao.
I wish i could have aero for linux. All the themes for it look like amateurish crap. The only thing they got right were the close buttons but that's only because they literally ripped the bmp's for them instead of properly designing them in inkscape.
...
I might want to set Windows 7 up again.
I have a question. Is there anything better than mactype these days? I legit cannot stand the font rendering on modern versions of Windows, but options like gdipp or mactype end up being worse due to either incompatibility with some software (specially web browsers) or poor kerning (mactype has this issue and reading a long text on it is nauseating).
Nope. Nothing of the kind.
windows 10 looks better
DELET
oh my god, imagine that with a 144hz monitor
muh dick
>what's wrong with it?
It can just randomly decide to drop frames. That's why people prefer exclusive fullscreen or DWM disabled.
oh but I can
this old laptop can't, though
hope you're still here
desktop threads are against the rules, right?
Yes?
but this is a Beauty thread
>Anyone who is not using the default wallpaper have serious psychological issues and requires therapy
Fuck off with your shitty shiny-sky-blue wallpaper.
Yep. If you're a security paranoid who updates 24/7 though, customizing the appearance of Windows 10 doesn't sound like a nice idea.
You don't know when will M$ decide to fuck your shit up because of reasons. I remember randomly reading abouut the Anniversary and Creators Updates giving troubles with custom themes to a lot of people.
