When I had Windows XP and 7 I had the most neat and tidy file structure ever. Now Windows 10 has made it so I save everything in the documents folder no matter what. That search function is just too good.
I also had a phase where I obsessively wanted to make my desktop pretty so I already knew about Rainmeter, but I'm genuinely surprised with the other tips included in this tutorial :) Thank you!
Wallpaper engine and taskbarX, that's what i use along with powertoys. I have my taskbar in the right, it is translucent and centered. My wallpapers are animated, i have 0 icons on it, neither recycle bin. I use powertoys to access my several apps using the keyboard and also use fancy zones to tile them in my two desktops.
Same, I'm using Wallpaper engine, rainmeter, and translucentTB to make my taskbar translucent. I'm going to check out taskbarX now, sounds interesting!
also one more tip- translucentTB makes your taskbar transparent which looks a lot cleaner as you can see your full wallpaper (in my opinion) Edit: 100 likes wtfff
I did this with my Windows 11 laptop, IT LOOKS SO DOPEEEEEEEEEEE I SUGGEST EVERYONE WITH WIN 11 PC TO USE THIS METHODS, I guarantee you'll be even more sticky to your laptop 😭
I was hooked till the end and was kind of dissapointed that it ended! This was sooo good. Also immediately worked on my desktop cause it was potato quality. Good going Kai.
Nah man he's aesthetic, has a VERY GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR, can rickroll people (hint he did it when he was showing the Spotify widget on his home screen) he plays the piano and guitar, IS ASIAN (more specifically the most aesthetic countries in existence, Korea Philippines and Thailand)and is my aspiration to become a better person. what else could you ask for in a person?
i'll be getting my pc in a week so i thought to well prepare for that and searched some videos about making it aESThetic and urs is on number one that yt recommended , i've seen ur videos before too and enjoyed it but this one literally made me freaking subscribe. You're so effortlessly funny and talented brother and yea thank youuuu 😭🤍
I really like this video and its tips! Although I would suggest people with slower computers to not use things like Rainmeter as it can eat up some of your resources (aka make your computer slower)
It was probably the humour and my insecurity about my full desktop as well as the intimidation by the kda ratio that made me clean up my desktop. 5:30 got me though- Thx man ;D been a fan of your style for a while
nah bc ive seen these things but they never motivaterd me to actually do it... i did it after watching this video, following the tutorial basically and now i can live my purple gray aesthetic dreamssss
Here are some other things I use/do: I use the startmenu to keep all icons, but don't need to have them on my desktop. TaskbarX (free) - With it you can make your taskbar transparent or even center all the icons with it. Wallpaper engine ($4) - Get animated wallpapers that move around.
whenever i try to download taskbarX, their website brings me to some third party site that tells me i have to pay $2 for it on the microsoft store. how'd you get it for free?
Me using Linux and having the freedom of using (or making because I'm crazy) any desktop environment I want :D Gotta give credit though, you managed to make Windows look good with light mode of all things
why isnt this channel on more than a million subs. You are amazing kai! You just earned a subscriber i know that more are coming. Ik its not much but im also going to share your channel with my friends. Thanks for making these amazing vids 🤍. Oh, and one more thing, you think you can make a video about minimal wallpapers? would be fantabulous if you could
Awh thank you so much for stopping by Shaurya! You subscribing and watching my video is already more than enough 😊 I'll definitely make a video about that soon! 🖤
I have win 11 and I went for the "minimalist 2 "skin . The folder widget looks useful to me. I cleaned my desktop , changed wallpaper, Etc. It looks a lot cleaner now .
If you use Rainmeter, you better have one capable system to handle it as well, if you're planning to multi-task. What I do is just to put all the shortcut into a specific folder, and all I have on my desktop is basically four folder on each corner named after the application category. It's clean, and I can see my wallpaper too. Windows 11 taskbar actually makes this a little bit better, as well.
Love this! I'm one of those people who have their desktop looking like a mess, even my google chrome bookmark bar is a mess haha so this is very helpful!
I can't just get rid of the taskbar icons, specially when the search bar usually gives me mostly internet searches... But I discovered that most of the shortcuts can get tossed into a single folder on the desktop, and nothing changes function wise
actually, u don't need the search bar or icon to search ur pc, just go to Start or just press the WinKey and start typing, searches will just appear automatically
i would sign up if u will teach anything with this kind of commentary and sense of humor (OCD part made me die for real) 😭😂😂😂 BEST TUTORIAL OF ALL TIME
hello kai, please do a separate video on rainmeter skin too with all the settings. i applied different skins watching tutorials from TH-cam but no one has that minimal aesthetic vibe that you have. please consider making a video 🤍
just go to settings and turn off the following: animations in windows transparency in windows auto hide scroll bars and optionally show desktop background also remove all pinned things in start menu and other options in start menu also turn on show all icons in notifications area and finally turn off news and interests, cortana, search and task views buttons alsong with input indicator, action centre and meet now
As an Arch Linux user and Linux ricer myself I can already tell there's too much things that are not right. Such as no custom fonts or themes. Also, you don't even get to get a custom launcher or status bar. Achieving custom themes can actually require patching crucial Windows components and have some risks involved. Such as a messed up theme or worse, no desktop at all.
I am so tempted to do this but I have to choose convenience over aesthetic. Amazing video though. Gonna save it just in case if I change mind in future
Regarding the star menu, i use it in fullscreen and then add all my apps like an app drawer, all of them in medium size and all icons that arent normal (like spotify or disney+) i change them to look asthetic
I know how you said that you don’t like linux, but personally, I think if you messed around with it enough it would grow to be your favorite OS. The customization is endless. Just make sure you pick the right distribution
Isn't it wild that if you gave me the title and thumbnail and asked me to make the video. My video would be near identical lol. Fantastic job and beautiful pc. I have probably spent more time customizing my pc then I have using it for realistic purposes. You know it's a good video when you already know all of the information but somehow you are still entertained.

you can also use startallback for classic taskbar, it's very customizable

doesnt take up that much resources unless u use widgets that constantly animates and moves like equalizers
I am totally a fan of your aesthetic !
Since watching this video, everytime I see something aesthetically pleasing, I whisper to myself ✨Hell yeah, aesthetic✨ 4:50
me just chillin with the _Folder of Everything_
Always love your aesthetic videos 🌿

This made me realize that I actually like how my desktop looks. I just had to clean it up a bit for it to shine lmao
I really like using Wallpaper Engine too because it allows me to easily search for other designs as well as make my own.
