About the taskbar:
- The new taskbar has some usability problems: the right-click menu appears too high compared to the button itself, which makes it harder to reach. Maybe placing it just over the taskbar button would be better.
- Clicking with the right button on "Close" opens a context menu instead of closing the application like before. I think that the context menu should appear only when I am clicking on the application name icon (for example Control Panel here), not if when I click on "Pin" or "Close".
- Also, I think that opening the window menu immediately after the right button is down would improve user experience smoothness when it comes to closing windows. In that way we could begin right clicking on the button, then slightly move the mouse upwards to the close button and close it directly by releasing the right button.
About the control panel:
- The Visual Effects tab (System Properties -> Advanced -> Performance Options) should not be located here because it requires elevation, and every user should be able to modify the visual effects settings (for example disabling window animation when minimizing) while of course not everybody should be able to modify the swap file size or disable DEP (which have nothing to do with visual effects, even if they are on the same window).
- Is this a really good thing to have removed "Recent tasks" in the Control Panel?
About general display issues:
- It is still impossible to avoid use of ClearType. Even when disabled, some parts of the system still use ClearType.
- In "Classic Appearance", the shutdown button in the start menu uses the System font (ugly).
- Very good that changing the DPI size doesn't need a reboot, but too bad it still requires a logoff...
- The spacing between the Clock and the tray icons is too big when the task bar is configured to use small icons, because the size of the date (which is not visible) is still used to compute the object width.
- The Windows explorer still has a misplacement of the dropdown button to the right of the previous and next buttons in Classic appearance
- User-created libraries are not visible in the start menu like Documents, Music, ... It could be useful to have an option to include some of them.
About system start:
- When the "Windows is starting..." screen exits to a black screen (before entering Windows), the animation still continues to be processed and drawn to the screen even if the screen is black (and thus invisible). This can slow down the boot process by requiring useless CPU time.
Otherwise:
- Very good to have a ClearType control panel integrated in the system, and to be able to use black and white smoothing. - The recent documents for every application in the start menu is a nice feature.
En fait maintenant que j'y repense la dernière ligne c'est n'imp, en fait ça ne sert à rien et y'aurait eu plein d'autres chose à dire, m'enfin moi aussi j'ai plein d'autres choses à faire (sisi)
