I just wished Windows made it easier to carry out these functions. I have now subscribed to your channel. Yes I agree Wallpaper Engine is very good. Just be choosy with your choice of animations as some are a bit below par and quality. Or make your own.

    I liked the one with the center toolbar but there is sth cooler that I did with the start menu. My desktop is clean as hell, but whenever I wanna reach out to an app or some games, I open the start menu and I have them all sorted in different categories, depending on what the apps are. The cool thing is that I have the start menu on fullscreen so I can have all of my apps in a clear well-organized view with the press of a button...the Win button. And it looks cool af when u open it
