But maybe someone else can offer a more detailed answer, it's not my domain.
Last time I checked several years ago, `backdrop-filter` is buggy on my laptop. Is it more optimized now?
I don't understand why I'd want the windows 11 experience anywhere I wasn't forced to have it. I heard they may soon restore some of the features they took away from the start bar, though.

If you have a 🫎 would it rhyme with a 🪿 when there were more than two?
Probably shouldn't be a 🫏 to dang; the code just hasn't been updated to filter out the new naughties.

as does some of HN. time to upgrade from the 80s, folks ;)
One, it's great to see a hack project here that's been done just for the fun of it. I'm noticing a few comments questioning the "why?" around this. To me at least, it's just a really fun thing to do to hack together something, just because. There doesn't always have to be a rhyme or reason for things like this.
Two, it felt like there was a period where sites that would host hack projects with no limitations was slowly dying out. Not just because of costs but also because of the associated risks with it (spam, phishing, etc). I really do love what Vercel is enabling here. When I mentor younger folks, it's becoming really easy to tell them where to go throw up a hack project after they've learnt git and Vercel is fast becoming The choice to send them to. Much kudos and gratitude to the team there.
Put it in fullscreen and you can safely leave your computer (document.body.requestFullscreen()). Too bad the background goes black.
Can't imagine using Windows without it.
Thats all I get in the project description.
How can I find out more on what it does without installing it? If Raymon Chen blogs about some "desktop enhancement software", it must be popular, at least among powerusers/devs.
Edit: I'm blind. Only after revisiting, I found "read more" link: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/wiki
"Oh, you dragged something over the top of a network drive in Explorer, let me waste the next 3-5 minutes trying to connect to that drive for you". Or how about this: "Oh you plugged in a USB drive that was setup as a live CD? Let me crash for a second and mash your MBR to bits".
How is Windows still mostly garbage at this point?
Now, my new TV has an interface where if press the favorites list button and don't touch anything, it times out and closes. The problem is, if I keep scrolling through the favorite channels, it still closes after this timeout. How long has the Favorite Channels menu been around on TVs - 40 years? I can't believe they still can't get it right.
That my friend, is the logic you are using.
Just like in Linux, you have your choice of a bunch of different start menus made by all kinds of people and companies. Always had - even in the win3.0 days you could replace the shell variable in win.ini with whatever exe you wanted. Heck, you can make windows look like a mac interface if you want.
There are features and choices microsoft makes as a default, and they don't fit yours or my requirements. They do however fit the requirements of an edgy teen who does most his computing on a cell phone, a soccer mom who thinks deleting a webmail email will get rid of the out of space message on her PC, and the priests who only know how to launch a browser for looking up underage gay porn.
Microsoft did not make the start menu for you, they made if for the largest portion of their target market. Because people like you can easily change it, and people like them would have trouble using a computer at all otherwise.
Open Shell (formerly Classic Shell) is a godsend that restores some semblance of sanity to the Start menu, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with Windows 11.
Surely adding a shortcuts on the desktop obliviates the need to use it. All of my programs add one automatically so it's super easy.
Here's the full implementation of VS Code for example: https://github.com/yashash-pugalia/win11-svelte/blob/main/sr...
It's just 44 lines of code - it works by opening a window with an iframe that points to https://stackblitz.com/github/yashash-pugalia/win11Svelte?em...
Silly but entertaining in a slow morning. : )
Not the first time seeing a project doing that. This can't be just for vanity reasons. Anyone knows?
(Speaking of which. Why is MS allowed to do all that stuff when they got record fine in the 90s for less? Eh, better not ask.)
I had to go back to windows this week because the software to run a massive LED curtain we bought for the office window will only run with this 10 yo windows software. And it was horrible. Just horrible.
Never seen any in production for anything, and the only remnants like movable panels of properties always feel misplaced on web pages/apps.
Turns out things just work ALL THE TIME. I don't remember even having to tweak stuff. It just works.
Spending the nights learning is not ideal as that consumes stamina required for the job that pays my bills.
I think Svelte's approach would win over in a few years. As nice as Vue is, getting rid of virtual DOM makes total sense.
Further, I don't think it's fair to say that Svelte isn't established, it's in production on some pretty big sites and has been stable for years now.
Svelte has a cool DX. Best I have seen. SvelteKit not so much.
Surely it's worth trying to do something better than that?

TL;DR - it's mostly working with some outstanding bugs and some users giving workarounds in that thread
Where this analogy falls apart is that the favourites menu on TVs hasn't always been implemented by the same people, Microsoft is always the one (re)implementing the start menu - they should have figured out how to not screw it up this badly by now
i hope we can agree that if functionality was not a priority while reimplementing, it should not replace a working product.

(note: one may consider this cheating)
It's understandable that it's much slower and more challenging to make changes to functionality that's become part of Windows core.
If something in PowerToys turns out to be a bad idea, it can be removed. It's much harder to justify that when it's been baked into the OS.

aand it's doing so for some time now (20y?)
> We have to hope that enough of the users whose systems are crashing realize that it’s due to the “shell enhancement” program (rather than blaming Windows itself, which is the more likely case)
I would 100% blame Windows (or Microsoft, rather) for making the shell so awful that people have to resort to these tactics.
You can't cripple the steering wheel on a car and then blame people for not finding perfect aftermarket substitutes.
>Unfortunately, these patchers also cause Windows customer satisfaction numbers to plunge every time an update goes out,
I've refused/blocked updates for as long as I remember since long before Explorer patchers were a thing, because updates break my shit and waste my fucking time.
I've had more of my time and nerves wasted by updates breaking my shit than "all the bad guys trying to take advantage of unpatched systems". Saying my system is "insecure" is concentrated snake oil.
Seriously, fuck updates with a rusty spork.
I only run Windows Updates once a year or two when I've set aside a few days to work out all the inevitable borkages, and I damn well like it that way. My computer is a tool and an appliance, not a mentally ill schizophrenic who changes their personality every hour.
No data is lost. No program closes. It just restarts the taskbar process.
but i'm afraid that your computer is indeed a 'mentally ill schizophrenic' which is here to stay, because fixing it would shift the focus/blame back to the operators.
Yet Microsoft seems to have no concerns about changing out functional, fast, easy to use components for worse replacements.
The Frankenstein period of old/new settings UI coexisting is further evidence of how painful ripping out OS functionality can be. I doubt anyone wanted to keep those dialogs around.
Searching for such a simple thing in the control panel was infuriating to say the least. I finally found it, random clicking in every potential places and it was in the most unintuitive place you could think of.
You would expect "keyboard layout" search to bring helpful results but it does not.
Still a thousand times better of an experience than Windows.
Between Wine frontends and Steam, I haven't really booted Windows for almost a year now, and I play a healthy balance of modern and ancient games of every production quality.
The only thing I miss is ShareX, which is a screenshot tool that seems to have been designed with me exactly as its sole target audience, because it is incredible, intuitively discoverable and packed with features that Just Work. Yes, Linux also has some screenshot tools, but they are at most 1% of what ShareX is. (And it doesn't work under Wine :(... )
Now I'm even considering FreeBSD as I friggin' love that OS. It's rock solid, predictable, and fast. I just need to make sure a few things can be made to work, even if it's via the browser, like Zoom.
switched to Arch (EndeavourOS KDE/Plasma) and life is sane again; enjoyable, even!
i do miss Affinity products, tho, which cannot even run in Wine/Proton :(
Or if you had enough space, still waste minutes copying the deleting the file...
Those days ended in 2007. I don't know if that issue persisted after XP because I've never experienced it.
Tracking: it’s mandatory!
that 'save to temp-dir first and copy later' behavior is so frustrating because it's inconsistently applied and not easily avoided, yet somewhat incomprehensible to the average user.
Most likely he was hitting alt+space by accident which cycles through them without him realizing.
Hot take: I feel like a lot of Windows issues people raise are actually user errors/accidents, then blaming the OS for it.
And who gets to be the judge of which keybinds are "random and mysterious"? Every single OS has it's own different keybinds you need to learn if you want to be eficient with. MacOS has different. KDE has different. Gnome has different. Windows has different. It's not their fault you don't know them or haven't bothered to look into them for the OS you daily drive at home or at work and remain "random and mysterious" to you. Every switch to a new OS involves a certain learning curve for any user.
It's called basic computer literacy in my country and it's also must have knowledge for most white collar jobs as it's part of the curriculum out of high-school.
If you don't have the basic skills to Google "hotkey keyboard layout switch Windows" or something along those lines for your OS, then "you'd better get used to asking people if they want fries with their order", as our instructor used to say, since you're not getting into any tech career if you can't google basic stuff.
> that nobody asked for
As a multilingual person who has to type in 3 languages on daily basis, the keybinds to quickly switch languages are defiantly something I would have asked for and I'm glad they exist.
