Thank you. Answering both your's and Travis' question regarding what program it is; I'm using PowerPro to create this Mac OS Menu -esque bar.

Small update:

My internal floppy drive died. Not sure if it's the USB converter or the actual drive itself, but it died. I def don't advise getting one. Get a cheapy USB floppy drive instead. I also bought myself a NAS, and connected some random HDDs I had laying around to it. I also scrubbed my W11 install because to be frank, W11 sux.

The MacOS like toolbar looked a bit tacky tbh, so I modified it further. Added a media control applet, removed the time, the Windows icon is gone.

OrthodoxWin32: It sucks. Aug 10, 2023 16:02:03 GMT -8 *

R.O.B.: OrthodoxWin32 Not looking forward to that. Aug 10, 2023 19:24:13 GMT -8

johnnyghost: Hopefully it doesn't get progressively harder for people to bring the look of older versions of Windows to Windows 11. I'm wanting to keep the classic Windows look from 9x/ME/2K in Windows 11, down to replacing the W11 apps with their W2k counterparts. Aug 10, 2023 20:18:58 GMT -8

AnyKey: Microsoft has stupid ideas. Aug 11, 2023 0:42:45 GMT -8

The Jackal: So they're finally removing the legacy taskbar? Very sad to hear. I've only used the default W11 one for a short while and it was terrible. Aug 11, 2023 11:38:25 GMT -8

golddl: Well i aint touching windows 11 anytime soon Aug 11, 2023 14:55:41 GMT -8

golddl: To me the security reason is just ppl over reacting over nothing Aug 11, 2023 14:56:12 GMT -8

R.O.B.: I have not had a great experience with Windows 11, and I'm still on 21H2. Probably going to downgrade to 10 at some point Aug 11, 2023 17:05:55 GMT -8

johnnyghost: I'm also on 21H2, but my laptop stopped being able to install any security updates for some reason. And I've tried many things to fix it, to no avail. Aug 11, 2023 17:28:47 GMT -8

AnyKey: To be honest, I want to use Windows 10 but I have an issue with multi-monitor setup so I'm still using Windows 11 just to avoid the issue. Aug 11, 2023 18:27:28 GMT -8

MinariTzu: Same, however my Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 has an critical bug with my home wifi driver in 1607 LTSB and 1809 LTSC that sadly prevents me to use these versions... Aug 12, 2023 2:48:41 GMT -8

Guest: I have 12th intel generation and can't even run games on 1809 and maybe 21H2 that is why I am stuck with Windows 11 :-[

Aug 13, 2023 10:17:39 GMT -8

R.O.B.: Guest That's another issue with Windows 10 for sure. Aug 13, 2023 10:40:42 GMT -8

Guest: it has to be a support issue with the 12th generation in Windows 10 right I mean windows 10 does not support intel 12 gen cpus Aug 13, 2023 14:04:51 GMT -8

Guest: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-10-21h1-supported-intel-processors Aug 13, 2023 14:05:00 GMT -8

R.O.B.: Windows 10 does work on Intel 12th gen, however it may not perform as well as Windows 11 due to the fact that its scheduler does not know the concept of P and E cores (which were introduced in 12th gen). Aug 13, 2023 17:39:20 GMT -8

kamuisuki: By the way you can disable Ecore ont BIOS, sometimes its a bit better on performance when a program is trying to use only Ecore. Aug 13, 2023 22:55:20 GMT -8
