Windows 10 anniversary dark theme

>>55883509
do you keep a pair of binoculars nearby? how the hell do you use that?

>>55883509
Edge already had a dark theme and the task bar has always been black.

Post the file manager.

I have a 34 inch 3440x1440 monitor, same text scaling as 2560x1440

>>55883619
That's what happens when idiots buy large monitors for playing games and end up using them even for browsing the web.

There's no excuse not to use 1366x768 for everything but gaymes and video/photo editing.

>>55883795
>this is what poorlaptopfags actually believe

>>55883509
The dark theme is actually utterly pointless and has no actual effect in anything besides shitty Metro apps.

>>55883836
This. I'm pissed that there's no dark file manager. At least Edge/Mail has it (the only Metro shit I use)

>>55883795
I use two 4K monitors to do nothing except edit text in a linux console.

If you have shitty eyesight this won't make sense to you

>>55883795
1366x768 is cancer.

>>55883914
Why so black? Also where can I access that?
I don't even think my computer has updated yet.

>>55883914
Yeah this is pretty terrible, the dark color in Edge is alright.

>>55884853
I wish it wasn't so dark, like holy shit.

>>55883509
Because I already updated to OS X 10.11.6

Why would I voluntarily join the botnet?

I'm working on it. I'm probably not going to use the dark theme because I am not an emo faggot and don't live in a cave.

Why doesn't it apply it to all the fucking windows, just apps?

why would I want Dark theme that only work on metro apps when I'm already on something that looks better already.
pic related it's from explorer.

>>55888130
how did you get that? sauce pls

>>55888287
it's just Arc theme for windows, you need to install uxstyle and put the theme file in the proper place inside Windows and you can select it from the options. It's not the only theme working, there's also a Vertex port and other known shit. Arc looks really clean and also matches my computer with arch xfce

>>55883509
What a surprise, a cuck that like to get blacked

I got the anniversary update. Edge now supports extensions and of the only ones available that I care to use is adblock plus.

What is annoying as fuck is that there is still no webm support. Annoying!

Booted into the bootcamp install on my Mac, checked for update, no updates available?

>>55883509

Because Shitdows 10 forces things on me that I don't want. Like this.

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_cortana/you-cant-turn-off-cortana-in-the-windows-10/c27bea12-88e1-4a9f-9c6f-60d6baad5047

I like being in control of what my OS does.

I love W10 as it is and managed to secure a copy before the offer ended, but god damn im not sure I want to run SAB every time theres an update. It's basically a background process for me by now. Other than that my main grievances are

>the BLACKED meme
>Microsoft Edge being forcefed to users
>New Start Bar look (fixing what wasn't broken without giving you an option)
>Chrometana is dead
>UAC shittily redone
>Botnet shit again, as usual

Pros on the other hand, with this update

>Bash
>New memojis
>Casting
>Update timing

Most of my complaints lie within the design changes and shit when they should have just made them customizable / toggleable. I'm getting sick of Windows having shitty A E S T H E T I C.

This update is good for the most part but these eyesores are ruining the look bigtime.

They are changes in the right direction and although things are rough windows 10 makes the skeuomorphic designs by apple and the material design by google look like absolutely garbage thought up by hipsters last decade. I upgraded for the aesthetics alone.

I frankly love the future we are headed toward where menus and navigation are darkened out so content shines. If only we could go to orange/amber/red and ditch white and blue for text and selections.

I've been on /g/ awhile, and I've seen some pretty fucking stupid posts regarding monitors, resolution, and DPI. Like really fucking stupid. Like "the eye can only see 24fps and I actually believe that" retarded.

but you have dethroned such posts. You, singlehandedly, made the most retarded post on /g/ I have ever seen.

just updated

how do i turn off the adaptive brightness off again? i remember it was a struggle to turn this off the first time around, this new update seems to have reset it, i've already gone into display settings and intel graphics settings, and battery saver settings, it should be maxed out but my screen is noticeably dimmer now than before the update, what gives?

I downloaded and installed a pre-activated win10 iso in April, now it's saying the license expires next month, and no sign of an update.

Do I just need to re-crack it, or should I wait til after the update comes through?

>>55894027

>>55894476
The standard theme is light, but the dark theme's been available since release with the use of a registry hack.

>>55894569
The registry hack is very incomplete compared to the less incomplete version released in this update

>I just want them to do notepad damn it

>>55883914
Taskbar on the left, hmm... Where have I seen that before?

>>55894548
How long have you been waiting? Currently on 21%

>>55883898
Yeah but at the cost of screen tearing since the compositor gets disabled if you disable aero or whatever

>>55883509
have they updated the media creation tool?
I tried to update my bootcamp install from inside of parallels, but parallels prevented windows from change the boot order (or something like that) and windows got stuck in a boot look reverting to the previous install

My update has been stuck in 32% for like 1 hour, turned it off by force and turned on again and it restored Windows, then downloaded again the update and I restarted it but it is once again stuck in 32%
What do?

>>55895288
Install Gentoo

what is scaling

Anyone know any way to make the handwriting panel pop up for all text fields?

Currently it's only working for Windows native apps like Setting and Edge. Surprisingly also works for Word 2016 and Notepad, so my guess is its not tied to UWP and it should be possible to rig it to work with all applications like Firefox or what have you.

It's also working with taiga which is compiled with VS2015. Looks like its not working for open source stuff across the board.

Still no good adblockers for edge sadly, and it STILL can't play webms.

The unofficial edge fork on github for ublock is garbage too.

>>55895573
No surprise there coming from the pajeets at Microsoft.
So what now man, what will you use instead?
I myself am using Vivaldi snapshot, I fucking love it.

You meme monitor faggots are the worst, those things are only useful for video editing software or watching movies

it's better for taking screenshots than the snipping tool though which i won't see me using it anymore.

>>55883509
>Why haven't you updated?
Because 7 has better dark themes (not made by Microshit, so even better)

Try the M$ content creator tool.

I kept on getting errors with Win Update and their Wind 10 updator assistant. Consensus on tech net basically said if you are having trouble use the content creator tool and it will do it for you.

>>55893449
yeah no

apples design is great, and material is god tier. microsoft clearly fired all their designers the same time they fired their test team, because windows 10 is highly unpolished, and their flat design forgot everything we learned about doing flat right since the early 2000s.

It's shit.

How did you do that?

So all memes aside, should I upgrade to 10?

>>55897724
7. No.

8.1 maybe

>>55897724
Honestly, no. At least not yet. There's still so many half-baked features in 10 (not to mention the constant spying) that it's probably worth giving it another 6 months to nail down what exactly you're getting.

THAT SAID, you should perform the upgrade at least once to claim your digital entitlement, before downgrading back whatever you're using before.

>>55883509
Can I manually download this update? I deactivated pretty much everything with W10Privacy and can't install it anymore.

I don't know.
You could have used Windows 7, Windows 8.1, but no, you had to be special.
