    OK. Does Windows 11 still have more customization options than Windows 10?

    Thank you for your reply. Why not try it for yourself as a virtual machine (VM) e,g, under Virtualbox (free)?

    I tried the first developer preview of Windows 11 on VirtualBox. It is not stable. However, I have seen the operating system. Its customization options seems to be much better organized than the ones seen in Windows 10. I think that Windows 11 has more customization options that Windows 10. Some Windows 11 customization options might be hidden. However, Windows 11 has it all. That is, all the glory of being customizable and organized.

    Win 11 ran on Virtualbox for me on this old laptop- and I used Qttabbar.

    However, for example, neither Stardock's Windowblinds nor Curtains seem to be available for Win 11.

    It ran for me too, and later got corrupted files due to instability.

    Time has moved on. Windows 11 Insider RP/Beta installations are very stable as we approach new RTM 22H2.
    I do not know how you can claim W11 is more or less customisable without running both.

    If anything, I would say W11 is less customisable but in the end, it is just cosmetic.

    The important points are the new features. Although (imo) not that many real enhancing features, we are seeing some come through at last e.g. file explorer with tabs, persistency on sandbox upon a reboot to mention a couple.

    I kind of despair about the emphasis on cosmetic claptrap (rounded corners).

    An OS is to be used not admired. I accept aesthetics are important BUT they are not the be all and end all. Life is a balance.

    As for the obsession with emojis, I cannot get over emotive about a zillion emojis. Hell about 10 emojis pretty much cover my needs LOL.

    Windows 11 is supposed to have more customization features. Yes, its an operating system that is supposed to be used.

    Windows 11 is supposed to be used by anyone. That includes Microsoft, you and me.

    No, it doesn't- that's contrary to MS's whole design intent, I'm afraid.

    Have a look at this:
    WinPaletter: customize Windows theme colors to your liking

    There's a new utility you might prefer to SMACC by Superfly.

    However that still doesn't help with background colours in windows rendered via file explorer.
    For that you still need to use Qttabbar (free).
    Thanks for sharing. QTT seems to be more for tabs, how/ which BG colors can it help to tweak?
