so we are going to be stuck using grey window frames?

 

changing colors has no effect on window frames. only the taskbar, start menu and login screen.

I could be wrong but when you go into settings and change your colors, the preview window that gives you an idea of how it'll look also shows a open window that changes color along with the taskbar and start menu.  So I'm thinking window frames will also change color to match your menu and taskbar, just not doing so yet.  I think right now they are locked to either light or the dark theme, maybe for testing those before they let users go crazy with colors.

I testing with windowblinds and it works great for windows. but the taskbar bugs out and spreads my pinned icon across the whole taskbar.

i noticed on the last build that the colour palette was locked to windows theme but i sync with the server so it always loads the last theme i used 

are quotes cross boxing they seem to be jumping to random placeholders of existing random quote ????

Moving a tile group to the 3rd column of the start menu in fullscreen view crashes the start menu, even after reboot it can't be opened.

Does anyone know how to reset the start menu layout in order to solve the problem of start menu not showing up?

It also happened in a virtual machine, so better don't try it out ;)

Windows 10 is rather Linux - looking by what I've seen in the latest leaked builds .

P.S : No Romanian Language Pack there yet ?

Sorry bro. No available yet.

Please , don't even try to use Google Translate , it's awful ...

I asked if it's there a Romanian Language Pack avaible .

'' Your '' translation says definitedly something else , it is not even about to be what I've said .

You asked, and he clearly wrote no in English right above the screenshot.

There are also torrents of this build (took zero seconds, as they are at the Usual Suspects).  Here is what I have found so far:

 

1.  You can upgrade (in the pre-10 manner) from 10056 to 10061 - I did this with my desktop and the development notebook.

2.  Mount/upgrade (from 8.x) still works - that also means that using third-party image-mount tools (Virtual Clone Drive, Daemon Tools, etc.) should also work (Windows 7 and Vista).

3.  And i have an idea what the (TWS) is before an earlier iteration of this build, and 10066 - Target Windows Seven.  (That would also explain the different RSA key - these two builds target a specific upgrade case - Windows 7-based upgrades.)  With that being the case, OF COURSE upgrades from 8 and later won't work.

Not news - Windows (on the desktop) is OFTEN compared to Linux; in fact, it's been the case since back to XP, if not 9x.  (A good half the features having nothing to do with Modern appeared in Linux first -- such as the disk-image mounting, for example.)  And thanks to GNU, it's not exactly rocket science.  (More like good ideas traveling.)

Sure , but I hoped for an english screenshot also , as much as I never use my natal's language pack ... just asked .

I meant the UI tasks arrangement ...

How is Windows 10 in any way Linux-like? If anything the KDE project was heavily inspired by Windows 7 and later.

For me , it seemed to be exactly opposite .

Moreover because W7 came out after Vista which got me the early '' flawless '' Desktop Enviroment for a XP SP3 user .
