This is a normal post Even without the animation "gimmicks" OSX still looks nicer and more consistent than Windows
I'm talking explicitly about the style of the interface itself - not the animations.

Your problem isn't just not modifying them for performance, which doesn't really need to be done for most users.

This is a normal post You can customise them both to look the same.
So now you're left with 'I prefer the default desktop scheme.'

I have many problems with Apple, they're a disgraceful company. I don't mean to victim blame.

This is a normal post You can't.
Customize Windows 10 to at bare minimum fix the image above, I'll wait. Despite that, it's not just "I prefer the default desktop scheme" - it's that I prefer the workflow and UNIX in general.

This is a normal post What needs fixing?
Genuine question.

RMB context menus having different ...contexts?

This is a normal post It's not just that, but a good example of the problem.
The taskbar in Windows having two different RMB menu styles for the same program is ridiculous.

Or perhaps look at the inconsistent styled icons? When I used more modern Windows versions it was possible to see 4 generations of different icon styles in regular use.

This is a normal post Sorry, My point is that they are average machines 2-8 times overpriced, that they freeze, crash, and are unfit for the purpose they're ostensibly designed for,
and you're apparently wanging on about the design of icons and variation in context menus.

I mean, if that stuff seems important to you, there-there.

This is a normal post The W11 context menu is great
It's given a new design, but all the actual options you want are behind the "show more options" menu, which, upon clicking, loads the original context menu, original design and all. Such 'mazing UX. Such wow.

This is a normal post At that point
Why not just make it show one big, beautifully designed button that says "open crap"?
