Configurability and utility are apparently not coming back. I agree that the loss of configurability is terrible, but this is kind of old news now - and you're not going to get many folks agreeing with you because it's notįashionable. In my case I missed the drop shadows around windows very much, and set out to find a way to bring them back.
I have stopped short of replacing the theme, but have set up Aero Glass via a 3rd party tool. There are ways, though they involve installation of software to "hook" things (basically, hacking) that you can bring back the ability to load desktop themes, and even to bring back Aero Glass to the Windows 8.1 desktop. There are clearly different forces driving it. On purpose, presumably to make us dislike the desktop and make it more likely we'll migrate to something else (such as use of Metro/Modern, possibly on a portable device).Īs much as you'd like to believe this is the same Microsoft that brought us Windows that "was always so good!" it's not. The newer versions of Windows allow to use multiple images as background (wallpaper) and change them automatically at different intervals (seconds, minutes, hours, day).Īlso, you can set a background image to fill the entire screen, center it or fit into the screen while preserving the quality of the original image.Microsoft took away our ability to customize your desktop to make it easier to use Windows allows to change the background with a solid color, photos from your hard drive or images included in the operating system itself.
