You can. I don't know if Win11 has custom theme support yet, but Windows 10 and older all do. Windows XP didn't support it out of the box either, you needed to patch your uxtheme.dll.
One really subtle thing in this image that really whipped me back in time is in the taskbar, next to the clock. That airplane icon.
I remember that shit, what was that again? It was some like program that controlled whether your CPU was in "performance mode" or in "eco mode" or whatever. And the airplane or maybe it was a bomb was "GAMING MODE" or something.
Not anon but probably because the resolution, otherwise looks fine to me.

The problem I have with the black Royale theme is that the start button doesn't go too well with the taskbar. It looks like whoever made it added a color filter to it because you can see how crusty it looks around the corner. Also the green color for when you hover on the start button shouldn't belong there as the other elements are black and grey.
What kind of customization you want in windows? On win 10 you can customize a lot but you can't make the square corners round. Maybe if someone was autistic enough to hack into windows code and create a dll we could circumvent this.
In the past there was a small community of people using custom shells. I think this community died around the XP/Windows 7 era because it became too hard to remove explorer from the inner workings of the operating system.
I once saw a guy replace the entire graphical engine with X and put i3wm on his Windows box but I would suspect that he had absolutely zero graphical acceleration.
>Maybe if someone was autistic enough to hack into windows code and create a dll we could circumvent this.
You can still patch your UXTheme though, I've seen custom Windows 10 themes. Also how you get the classic theme back on 10.

We have GLX enabled X servers for Windows though. I've run full Linux desktops with acceleration and audio (over pulseaudio) on Windows in WSL1.0.

This was not WSL era. This was maybe Windows 7 or Windows 8 that the guy did this. It was quite impressive but as I said, likely nothing ran well.

It’s more about controlling the user experience so they can’t frick it up and create problems for themselves.

Nothing has changed, anon. You had to do the same shit to get custom themes that you have to now. It wasn't a default option.
XP didn't even come with Zune and Royale themes outside of specific editions or you got it from specific software from MS, otherwise you had to add them yourself (but you didn't need to patch to use them, since they were official).
The mindset has certainly changed.
Back in the day we were drowning in 3rd party themes and customization options.
No matter what look you were going for there was probably a selection of stuff already out there to get you going.
Nowadays you have to look a lot harder to find anything half decent or make something from scratch.
And if you decide go that route you'll notice that the tools for making visual styles are closed-source relics from the Vista days with some shoddy patches applied that barely work half the time and crash more than a KDE beta.
It's a really sad state of affairs to be honest.

>there's just more people in computing in general now that don't care
this is half true
lots of people use programs like wallpaper engine and other similar programs to have animated backgrounds, etc. and there are still plenty of windows themes (official or otherwise)
but in general i think a lot of this has to do with the fact that minimalist UI design and dark themes are now the 'default' which really do work for a lot of people so there's less need to build custom UI's
as much as I have nostalgia for old design aesthetics feel like a lot of customization was done as a tinkering novelty or to fix bad design
soulless but functional perhaps.
i remember downloading winamp and xfire skins back in the day. it was fun. but it doesnt seem necessary to do stuff like that now
It's a moronic piece of shit os that has accumulated such technical debt, it literally takes over 10 years and over 3 versions to implement new features.

Kek, I have fond memories of breaking my home internet around 2007 while trying to do that and my parents getting pissed at me. I am so glad that home networking is not as much of a shitshow as it was back then.
I'm not into networking so I actually don't know, but fact is things 'just work' more often now. For whatever reason a lot of games back then required you to fiddle with port forwarding to play or host MP games, and then that required you to set up a static IP on your shitty Linksys blue-and-black box Router, and then sometimes shit would go wrong when you're like 14 and trying to figure this stuff out.

Customisation is for people who can't develop good systems. For all the thousands of person-years of Linux customisation that have happened it has never reached the usability and design coherence of Windows 2000 or Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't give you keyboard accelerators, good tab order, system-wide coherent text and file dialogs, standardised windowing and toolbars, accessibility integration and all the deeper things which make for a good user experience.
Literally doesn't look bad unless you open them all at once and have colored squares and annotations to prove your point. Yeah there's some difference in styles but it's all very usable and doesn't get in the way. It's a mature OS powering the entire world.

said, Linux is nowhere near (unfortunately) and there's an order of magnitude more UX issues in Gnome/KDE. That's not to say Linux is a bad OS - but it's funny when desktop thread dwellers pretend it's comparable in terms of desktop readiness and maturity.

Literally doesn't look bad unless you open them all at once and have colored squares and annotations to prove your point. Yeah there's some difference in styles but it's all very usable and doesn't get in the way. It's a mature OS powering the entire world.

inconsistency is a usability issue. normalgays freeze up in confusion and indecision when there is no consistency, whereas nerds sigh and move on.
It looks like the opposite is true - normalgays don't care at all and nerds create UI paradigm compilations to win internet points.
I use Win10 and macOS daily and both are fine. Like
said, Linux is nowhere near (unfortunately) and there's an order of magnitude more UX issues in Gnome/KDE. That's not to say Linux is a bad OS - but it's funny when desktop thread dwellers pretend it's comparable in terms of desktop readiness and maturity.
Linux has gone backwards over the past 10 years in terms of desktop usage, it's actually worse now than it used to be. Vanilla KDE 3.X or Gnome 2.X were fine, now it's a mess.
I agree
I need you to understand that I don't discuss operating systems with friends and family
there you go, normalgays are constantly annoyed by "FINGS CHANGIN ALL THE TIME"
The only complaints I've been hearing recently is "Android/iPhone did X without my permission again!"
guess you don't socialise at all then

shit dat nostalgia
Any other macgays remember kaleidoscope in the mac os 8 days? It let you do ridiculous amounts of customization to the system UI.
Wow, that's rad as hell. I wish graphical design stayed this creative instead of flat material minimalism garbage.
Rockos modern life 90s style didnt last long
>I did not need to know any of the temperature or RAM usage statistics
the same thing as i cant understand why ricegays displays their taskbar with stats like cpu/ram/hdd/bandwidth or having top/htop/btop or whatever running at all times. i know they all want to larp as some leet hackerman and post in desktop threads but all that bullshit are just visual bloat to me. i mean if i want to look at system stats i would just open task manager once for a glance and then just close it.
So you know what's going on.
indeed. even when im on my beater linux netbook, i just use Crunchbang linux with plain openbox with conky turned off
I used to be a ricegay - arch, i3, no font aliasing, cmus, irssi, the works (even riced my nexus 5)
then I graduated high school
Now I use Cinnamon with mint-y-dark, the radio++ applet, and that's the extent of my desktop customization
I envy those who have enough free time to obsess over such tiny details
Probably 1. too many layers of conflicting UI, and 2. too many processes that rely on the explorer shell.
Why do people post before even reading the thread or checking themselves?
No wonder people fall for idiotic scams like "send me your bitcoin and I double it" if they believe everything people write
there are conflicting layers of UI in windows 10 & 11 because they're developed by indians and microsoft is a government subsidized communist tractor factory design bureau monopoly that needs to be abolished. that's why there are conflicting layers of UI
except that's not even the reason, since i'm told you can change it in the registry. nope, the only reason they won't let you do it is pure spite - the same spite that will kill millions of dumb goy Black folk with spike protein blood clots and doom generations to come with slavery - but that's ok with me, because the gentiles deserve it.
yeah the vaxxies won't make it past december 2020
Theres no such thing as something that kills you 3 years down the road. Take your meds schizo.
you kid, but rabies can kill you years after initial infection. it sits in the muscle, and slowly makes its way towards the bloodstream - not unlike spike proteins from a covid jab. the people who copped their jabs in a vein or artery had blood clots immediately. in the grand scheme of things, a couple million dead goy lemmings is a drop in the ocean, about as notable as covid itself really - and if you asked me, i'd tell you covid was a statistical phantom created through bullshit scientologist e meter test kits
not technological, go talk about your conspiracy theories on
/misc/ is full of vatniks. i'll stay here thanks

Why was it a thing in the mid 2000s to have more than 4 different browsers installed?
