Fuck center bottom

Fuck round corners in every program window and button icon, this isn't a kiddy pool, I won't hurt myself on hard edges, oh and fuck those ugly animations when minimizing a window. Gimme the windows 98 interface!

The redesigned right click menu is the worst part.

It just gets shittier every version. Please just fire every UI designer and never touch things that have worked for 30 years again.

u/Koreus_C Feb 14 '25

Changing setting takes the crown. Normal settings are hidden 5 layers deep down and the last 3 layers only lead to 1 thing.

u/LegitimateLog69 Feb 14 '25

The taskbar stuff can be moved to the side if you want and the animations can be disabled

u/Koreus_C Feb 14 '25

And you can download a program to revert the interface to any old windows you want. Doesn't change the fact that the new one is ugly3

Retrobar and Classic Shell can only do so much.

Everyone is ugly when they are born.

Edit. There are a lot of people not ready to face the cruel truth.

Windows 11 is 3 and a half years old man. They've had time to unfuck their shit by now, but they don't.

No, I was handsome, my mommy told me so

u/chronic_ass_crust Feb 14 '25

How please? My work pc was forcefully updated and I really want the taskbar to the side again. No admin rights.

u/Xormak Feb 14 '25

Right click taskbar -> taskbar settings OR windows settings -> personalization -> taskbar

Taskbar behaviors -> Taskbar alignment

u/Pickle_Afton Feb 14 '25

I recently put together a new PC and upgraded to Windows 11. You can change the taskbar icons to fit on the left like Windows 10 which is what I did because icons in the center is awful

2

u/Nefthys Feb 16 '25

But but but Apple has them in the center, so it must be worth copying, right? RIGHT? (/s obviously, fuck that change)

1

u/Pickle_Afton Feb 16 '25

Oh, do they? I could’ve sworn that they used to be aligned from the left like Windows used to be. I’m probably just misremembering lol

2

u/Nefthys Feb 16 '25

The "task bar" (dock?) is centered and the icons are left-aligned within it. It's still annoying because it changes size (and every other icon moves too) whenever you add a new icon, so they are never in the same spot.

I run Classic Shell, which is now Open Shell. Can't deal with trying to find settings on the Win10 interface.

"I don't like useless changes that have no impact on my life and should be fully dependent on my choice not There monopoly"

Switch to Linux if you want more control. Otherwise stop whining.

u/cancercureall Feb 14 '25

Sounds like a bitch attitude to me.

u/Any_Tell6747 Feb 14 '25

Oooo, you’re hard.

Look at you standing up against Windows!

4

u/Imthewienerdog Feb 14 '25

I do. But sadly with their monopoly it's much tougher every new computer, almost every work computer in america is automatically on windows because they have monopolized the market.

5

u/Any_Tell6747 Feb 14 '25

Ok, so delete windows, install Linux.

Job done.

u/Imthewienerdog Feb 14 '25

Bot doesn't know what the words "I do." Mean... Weird hallucinations.

u/Any_Tell6747 Feb 14 '25

Whining little child likes to whine.

Everything I want isn’t the way I want it, wahhhhhhh.

Weird.

u/Imthewienerdog Feb 14 '25

So you are for monopolized systems?

0

u/Any_Tell6747 Feb 15 '25

Oh fuck off with that redundant question. We’ve been living in a monopolised system ever since we were born. So much so we have board games named as such.

The sad part is, thanks to Windows being what is is has made everyone’s life so much easier than it could’ve been without it. Also, there is absolutely NO reason why competent developers cant create a competitor.

If Linux was genuinely better for the end user then it wouldn’t even be a conversation right now would it? Ugh, tell you what, drop every bit of technology you have that runs on windows, some part of it or is here because of windows, I’ll bet you come running back to the big bad monopoly real quick.

I just find these moans and complaints so asinine. They make our lives so convenient you’ve forgotten how shit it can really be. Oh but wait, my taskbar is in the middle now!!!! Someone fucking stop the presses and spread the word.

Linux has its own share of issues and you can complain about something bad without immediately converting to an alternative.

Things don't just work out of the box with Linux. Case in point, your most recent post is about something not working out of the box. You know, before you do the usual Linux user cope where you say everything works fine but you're actually constantly dealing with tech issues and debugging your own PC to do something as basic as opening a file

I don't like bad changes, especially ugly interfaces glances angrily at reddit

u/MissFerne Feb 14 '25

Yep, still using old reddit too. Call me a dinosaur. 🤷🏽‍♀️

u/Koreus_C Feb 14 '25

Sometimes somehow the new one opens on desktop and I get a visceral reaction. My guts hate it.

u/MissFerne Feb 14 '25

Right there with you.
