WTF is this really Windows 8 "Windows 8 Made More Beautiful Than Default Windows 7"

[rkkdjb]

Thanx For The Reply But Looks Like You Are At The Same Stage as Me

Can You Proceed Further ?

I Mean your Screenshot Is 3.1MB Heavy, The Result I Seek To Achieve Is Only Some 400KBs.(Maybe Fonts Have A Role Here)

Also You Haven't Removed The Ads, Maybe Bcoz Of That.

I Think The Blue Background Takes A Lot Of Size.

Even i Was Able To Remove That LHS Like Yours But It Looks Ugly This Way :(

So, The Question Still Remains How To Proceed Further :think:

Why would you be looking at the weight - it is just a screenshot not the actual site that you would browse? :unsure:

FWIW, the weight is due to higher resolution.

Also You Haven't Removed The Ads, Maybe Bcoz Of That.

I Think The Blue Background Takes A Lot Of Size.

Which ads. aren't removed - I don't see any? :unsure:

The blue background cannot be removed - unless, it is needed in an image format and photoshopped.

Yes, that site was not designed with a flexible content in the CSS such as some other sites are.

Thanx For The Explanation :)

Which ads. aren't removed - I don't see any? :unsure:

In Your Screenshot, There Are Two Ads :

1. Between HTTrack Website Copier And Kaspersky 2015 SW - Nitro Pro 9 AD

2. Between MSE And Opera - Malwarebytes AD.

The blue background cannot be removed - unless, it is needed in an image format and photoshopped.

Yes, that site was not designed with a flexible content in the CSS such as some other sites are.

OK :D

So No Luck Going Forward I See :sadwalk: :wut:

[dcs18]

Ah, yes - agreed about those ads. :P

Have put your requirement into my to-do list - shall be working on it. :yes:

Have Made Some Progress Regarding The Background Image Block.

Didn't Knew ABP Had This Option. :shy:

Here's An Example :

http://postimg.org/image/e5z6cmiyz/ (See The Last Option In The Context Menu) Also How To Get This Context menu Option Bcoz I Don't Remember Me Having This Option Before :think:

http://postimg.org/image/70pnujwuf/ (That's It, Create The Rule, Refresh The Page And No More Background Image)

Just Found This Option Still Getting Familiar With It.But It's A Good Start, Isn't It :P

[dcs18]

Didn't Knew ABP Had This Option. :shy:

Oh yeah, ADP has that context menu.

Just Found This Option Still Getting Familiar With It.But It's A Good Start, Isn't It :P

Good job, mate - you play around with it some more and it might become obvious to you why I cannot let go of these add-ons. :)

Have just decided to start pimping Windows 10 Technical Preview and hopefully may fork this very same thread or start a new one (if required to.)

if you are in windows style builder...

it is Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > Items View > FillColor (main window)

and yes this is one of the main things i edit first in a lot of the dark themes ,,and give it a nice gray
