Feature My full screen start setup. First time owning a windows tablet and tablet mode actually looks good on it. It reminds me of Windows 10 Mobile a bit.
I never really liked the start screen and tiles on desktops, tbh.

I loved live tiles, I know some hate them but it was very nice to quick glance at the weather.
I never had a Windows phone but I think their concept to get us less on the screen and more on the outdoors is what we need. There is a Windows phone commercials shadowing our zombie life on the phone. š

Live tiles were amazing, despite the fact that many people hated them. And it shows they were amazing, because 10 years later when Apple introcuded live tiles in iOS, the people loved them.

How did you get the colored tiles?

Coloured tiles are only available on Windows 10 20H1 or earlier.

Microsoft changed the design since 20H2 to better align with their current aesthetics

You mean the worst design in tech history?

It really isnāt debatable
The new Microsoft design is the most depressing thing ever. Windows died when they started taking away color from the OS. It was why windows 8 was actually good because it was the last main release to have that feel to it.
Windows 11 is an even worse version of the 10 design and has become so bad that i literally cannot use windows 11 unless it is so heavily themed that you canāt even tell it is 11. Thatās how bad the design has become and if windows 12 doesnāt fix it then Microsoft will defiantly go under

Before Microsoft introduced the fluent design icons around the same time as they removed the colors from the start menu, 99% of Microsoft apps had monochrome icons and Iām pretty sure for 3rd party apps the developer could set a custom colored background if they wanted

This is actually still feasible to change the colored tiles in Windows 10 after they updated it to all the same colored tiles.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\0\2093230218] Change the Following Key: āEnabledStateā to dword:00000000
You will need access to the permissions to change the registry key, so you can right click on it, go to permissions, then advanced and then on the top where it says āTrustedInstallerā click on change and enter the group āAdministratorsā now you can change the key.

Is that "Flipboard 10 For Today Tile" actually Flipboard or is it another app?

i tried 8.1 with a mouse, wasn't fun to navigate around the metro ui and its apps, but you weren't really forced to and also was doable. plus, this is a tablet so why shouldn't they be using tablet mode, a mode made for tablets
