General

You spend A lot of time with your computer. You will feel much better and easier to worl in your computer. Few ways to customize your desktop are appended below:

DREAMTECH

A Caution : The deeper you go with customization, the more you risk causing problems with your system specially when changing system files. You should always back up your system before you start any deep customization!

Install a Custom Dock

1. The default Windows taskbar is actually pretty awesome, especially once you beef it up. But if you prefer the aesthetic and functional nature of a dock, we recommend checking out a customizable dock or the older (but free) RocketDock. If you're on Linux, check out Docky instead. If you're on OS X, you can customize your dock with something like DockMod.

Get Some Neat Desktop Effects

2. Free app Dexpot has a few cool animations to contribute, but if you really want to take it further, WindowFX is an awesome app with a ton of animations and customization built in. 

Collect Some Nice Wallpapers

3. You can make your wallpaper even more awesome with a few tools. Desktoppr is an awesome way to browse and sync wallpapers with all your computers and then rotate between them with a good wallpaper switcher. Wallpapers don't have to be a time waster, either—they can be motivational and productive, too. 

Organize Desktop Clutter

4. With an app like Fences or Desktop Groups you can not only make things more attractive but also keep everything org by category, proj or whatever else you need. so you can reach everything easier.

Create a Customized HUD

5. Rainmeter is an awesome program with a ton of cool skins and themes out there for you to try out. OS X users might have to do a bit more work but can create a lot of cool stuff with GeekTool. Linux users should check out Conky.

Change And Add Your Favorite Features

6. With the right tweaker in your arsenal, you can customize your operating system's built in menus, fonts, settings, or anything else under the hood.

Skin Windows

7. Linux users don't have as easy a one size fits all method as it depends a lot on your desktop environment and window manager. But sites like GNOME-look.org are a good place to start looking for good themes.

Overhaul Skin Entirely

8. The Mavericks Transformation Pack is for you. Search around sites like DeviantART and our Featured Desktop series for inspiration and links to some pretty cool skins, if you're feeling adventurous.

Change Up Icons

9. it's pretty easy to change the icons on your system. Individual apps and folders are extremely easy to change on both Windows and OS X, though system icons are a bit tougher. Windows users should check out IconPackager, which can do a heck of a lot but in my experience is a bit finicky. So be sure to back up your system first.

Open Settings.

Click on Personalization.

Click on Background.

Using the "Backgroundlick the Browse button to select the folder with the images.

Use the "Change picture every" drop-down menu to select how often the image will rotate.

Click on Colors.

Under 'More options,' turn on or off the Transparency effects toggle switch.

Adding Colors to Windows 10 Elements

11. Windows 10 by default uses a color dark for Start, taskbar and Action Center and a light color for title bars. If you want to add a little more personality, it's possible to show the color accent in these elements using these steps:

Open Settings.

Click on Personalization.

Click on Colors.

Under "More options," check the Start, taskbar, and action center option to show colors in those elements.

Choosing a Color Mode

12. Windows 10 includes two personalization modes. The light mode is the default mode and works well during daytime and then there's the dark mode that uses a dark color scheme in backgrounds. Another part of the OS and supported apps and it's an option more suited for a low light environment.

You can switch between the light and dark mode using these steps:

Open Settings.

Click on Personalization.

Click on Colors.

Under 'More options,' select the Light (default) or Dark using the 'Choose your default app mode' option.

How to Customize Lock Screen

The options available include the ability to set a custom image, collection of pictures, Windows Spotlight, and settings to control apps notifications.

Setting up a Custom Lock Screen Image

14. Lock screen uses 'Windows spotlight' as the default option to show a new background every time you turn on your computer. And while this option pulls stunning images from Bing, it's also poss to set any image you want.

To personalize the Lock screen using a custom image, do the fol:

Additionally, you can click the Advanced slideshow settings link to control other options.

15. For example, you can include the Camera Roll folders on your device and OneDrive. Choose to use only pictures that are best suited to fit the screen. Allow your computer to show the Lock screen instead of turning off the screen after a certain time of inactivity. And there is a drop down menu to specify the duration of the slideshow.

16. On either option you choose, it's also a good idea to turn off the Get fun facts, tips and more from Windows and Cortana on your lock screen toggle switch to avoid the so-called 'Windows 10 ads' in the lock screen.

Quick and Easy Tips

17. The behavior of Windows 10 is to show the same background on the Lock screen as well as in the Sign in screen. If you want to see a solid color background in the Sign-in screen, make sure to turn off the Show lock screen background picture on the sign in screen toggle switch listed at the bottom of the page.

How to Apply a Theme

Although you can change the location of the taskbar by just dragging it around with the mouse, this page also includes a drop-down menu to relocate the bar anywhere you like.

In order to customize your experience even further, the taskbar also lets you combine buttons in three different ways, including always combine and hide their labels (default), show labels and combine buttons only when the taskbar is full, and never combine and show buttons labels.

If you have a multi monitor setup, the Taskbar settings page also includes additional options such as the ability to show taskbar on all displays, choose where apps button appear, and an option to combine buttons on other taskbars.

Customizing the Notification Area

To remove the search box, you can right-click the taskbar, select Cortana, and click the Hidden option, or you can also select the Show Cortana icon option.
