I center my taskbar as well, but I've always used Taskbar X. Rainmeter for the day of the week, GPU and CPU usage widgets, both very minimal and a super clean wallpaper to go with it. Never liked icons on the desktop, and like Dave said, if I need something, I will know where they are. Didn't realise I didn't need to use a third party to center the taskbar as well. Thanks Dave!
@@azizinanc yep. The new windows 🪟 version centers it, but the transparency is still not as good, it's more glassy than transparent. I still use taskbar x for just that.
does using rainmeter for simple stuff like this increase lags and slow down a laptop? especially while gaming and stuff (yes i use a laptop for games, yes im broke)
@@saachikanchan6276 ive got a gaming laptop too, nothing wrong with that haha. and no it does not slow it down, i have stopped using rainmeter now (I want the desktop so clean i dont want anything on any of my screens) and just use wallpaper engine, but there were no performance issues with any of the widgets, ever. Maybe if you like having a stack of widgets, it might affect your fps a bit but if its just weather stuff, or SSD, or CPU GPU temp, it doesnt really affect performance. You should be alright.
Nah, Zuck likes his own privacy. He just likes to be nosey on other people's computers. He's they guy looking over your shoulder all the time going, "So, what're you doing?" But if you did the same to him he'd be like, "Get off my back! Leave me alone!"
I think its better to use taskbarx, it automatically centers the taskbar, and you can get it for free in githu or something like 1 buck at microsoft store
Love this. Turns out I was on the right track back in the days when I was a windows user, Same steps.. format, Nanite, disable unneeded services. I turned into Linux user about 12 years ago to save all these hassles but I still do these for my friends and families.
i wasn’t surprised. Dave ain’t the mainstream techtuber he comes off to be, he’s is a certified PCmasterrace veteran. Casually downloading and setting up rainmeter is a decent litmus test. I know my people.
This is the first time that a tech reviewer I follow has talked about privacy in their setup, which was a good insight. It's just comforting to know that privacy is not an afterthought and might break into mainstream product reviews. If there are more privacy centric options, I guess?
For centering taskbar and making it transparent, taskbarx is the way to go. Doesnt impact performance, opens at startup, automatically adjusts your taskbar so that its always centered no matter how many apps are open
I like running translucent taskbar, really unobtrusive and lightweight app in the background that turns the taskbar blurred/translucent or even fully transparent. Makes for a really nice aesthetic change that let's you see more of your wallpaper, and frankly I just like how it looks.

This video reminds me of myself 10 years ago! I was so obsessed with cleaness and stock look & feel. I used to go through these steps which Dev mentioned. 😃
well he probably had some insight on that already... because of the timing of his upload... also that "taskbar" is something a lot of users do, me included and way back, happy windows finally woke up..
@@PicmipPixel "well he probably had some insight on that already..." The centered Apps were already a part of Windows 10X (and other stuff, too), so no special insight needed.

"Hemorrhaging data all the time to Google; that's something I have to live with." Why? Firefox is a good alternative, and it provides better privacy. Also, Firefox multi-container add-on is excellent for walling certain sites

Fighting against it isn't an option if you want to have mainstream appeal. Microsoft was fighting against the trend with the tile interface for a long time. 10 years ago they sort of started the industrial design in software trend (I.e. Metro UI was the first UI with flat icons and such). This was then copied by Google and Apple. But Google and Apple softened the UI with rounded corners and some light shadow and glass effects. Microsoft should have followed this instead of insisting on their thing. Long story short; in my opinion this isn't copying from anyone in particular.

@@Speykious ah yes I agree with you
@@zt9233 as opposed to Linux and to an extent Mac. I would say rating them though, Linux is best because you don't have to fight the OS at all, Windows is 2nd just because of its sheer availability, and Mac is the worst because it limits you to what you can and can't do, and its restricted to certain devices.

When you press the like button even before starting to watch the video and it’s actually well deserved!
This is one of my favorite videos that you have ever made - your setups look so clean. I am awaiting your detailed description so that I can snag that Rainmeter skin. 😄
Edit: Thanks for adding the Rainmeter skin!
Having switching to Mac often, centering the icons on the taskbar was a cool thing to know that you can have it as well on Windows. Thanks for letting us know about it! :)
There is a third-party app named TaskbarX that does it much better. Have been using it since bought a desktop pc.
Cleanliness is next to "god-level of productivity".
dave, I am subscrubed to you but yiutube algorithm is so bad that it never shows your videos on my home page even when i run youtube for 2 hours every day. i miss videos like this one, this was a gem of a video.
Woow this starting animation looks so refined ❤️❤️
This makes me want to format my laptop and set it up again
same here! but I don't have a laptop so that I wanna do it on my brother's one
do it
Sorry for being a complete noob and newbie, but does a format on a new, straight out of the box laptop void any warranties or like Windows key?
I always delete all stuff that I don't need and make sure everything is tight. Hate all bloatware and unnecessary files
@ is that sufficient enough to get rid of all bloatware or is a format more thorough?
Nice clean set up! Tip: TaskbarX for centered taskbar icons, it's lightweight and very polished.
Yep it’s great! They have an app or a rain meter skin.
I have a question, does TaskbarX start up immediately after start-up or you have to wait a few seconds for it to load up?
@@iwoaf it starts automatic on boot up
i use falconx and it doesnt always work on startup, might be time to switch
@@cygnusx1858 would switch if i were you, no problems with starting on taskbarX
And now you have Windows 11 with it’s centered bar and that’s awesome.
Damn I remember the days when I used rainmeter to setup voice commands and huds like the iron man visor.
didn't even know you could do that, sick
