Win11DisableRoundedCorners VS Open-Shell-Menu

And finally another workaround is an app called Win11DisableRoundedCorners on Github, as a workaround I can quite happily live with it. The site address is: https://github.com/valinet/Win11DisableRoundedCorners/releases if you want to check it out.

Win11DisableRoundedCorners

I hate rounded corners, I removed them with https://github.com/valinet/Win11DisableRoundedCorners,

https://github.com/valinet/Win11DisableRoundedCorners Does this work on windows 10 and apply rounded window corners or would this brock my system and/or not work?

Just an fyi, you can disable rounded corners. Somebody made a utility for it: https://github.com/valinet/Win11DisableRoundedCorners/releases This does patch a dll and that does sound sketchy but I tested it in a VM and it worked.

I've been very happy happy with https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu as a Start Menu replacement. If ads have rolled out to my Windows install, I wouldn't even notice.

Whenever I set up a new computer for older family members, despite it being windows 11, I always install open shell[1] and retro bar[2]. Between the two, I've made the operating system look very close to Windows XP visually, and they always appreciate it.

There's Open-Shell but it's not exactly a full WM replacement.

Hi yall, I used Open-Shell to change the icon.

There is also Open Shell, a free and open source tool which performs a similar function.

I wish so bad there is a port (a fork) of the Legacy Kickoff start menu for Windows: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/issues/1083

Classic Start Menu

I use Open Shell (fork of Classic Shell) as a replacement to original Start Menu. This gives me full control over what appears in start menu - no results from internet, animated tiles, etc (I am on Win 10 though, from what I read the Win 11 is supported, but not yet officially [1]). It could be a solution to the ads appearing in start menu.

Looks like you're going for an XP theme. May I suggest using open-shell to skin the taskbar, start menu, and start button if you wanna take that extra step? You can also find the taskbar skin and start button here. Also, I would remove the search bar, task view button, and news & interest area of the taskbar just to bring things together. This is all just a suggestion, you don't have to if you don't want to.
