    Agitated with context menus

    We're just saying that the context menus should be dark with the dark theme and light with the light theme with the same font size, width, and overall look. We believe it would make the Windows experience more uniform and simple. That, in a nutshell, is
    the point here.

    And this is why we're unhappy:

    All these different menus don't match. Why not just make them one color, one size, and one style? And better yet, it would be great if they matched the theme color.

    My view on the matter is this: When parents are teaching their kids how to use Windows, we don't want them saying "Right-click here to open the file explorer menu," or, "Do this so you can open the taskbar menu." We want the to say, "Right-click to open
    the menu." Notice that was simply "the menu."

    Context menus should be identical in style: font size, color, menu size, etc. so that they will be simply "the menu." More on color: they should at least be all dark with the dark theme and light with the light theme, but I think they ought to match the
    theme color when "Show color on Start, taskbar, action center, and title bar" is enabled

  3. Good evening, I have a question. How can I make the color windows? I deleted the keyboard and since then I have black and white windows.

    Hello

    Do you mean changing the theme? You can control the theme and colors in the personalization menu in the settings.

    Start > personalization >Colors or Themes.

  4. Windows 9: Start menu changes color to match the theme

    All I can say is some people are going to love this, me if I have to pay money to look at this I won't be. It and this new flat mono colored single colored tile looks like Windows 2. This kind of desktop goes against all the advances of easy recognition of names etc with the capitalization of words. The Science of Word Recognition
    WFW3.11 looked prettier.

  5. I tried the the "auto-colour" option in W8.
    I didn't like the way it worked, so I turned it off.

    Thanks for posting the article, Shawn. Thanks for the link to that article, Indianatone. *Smile

    I like the Modern look they may add to it, but no matter what they do to it I won't use it. Old tech to me now. Start Screen is much more efficient for me to use.
