How to Make Your Desktop Look 10X Better!

Step 1: Remove Desktop Clutter

Start by cleaning up your desktop. Organize your games and apps into folders. This not only makes your desktop look neater but also makes it easier to find what you're looking for.

Step 2: Get a Decent Wallpaper

A good wallpaper can make a significant difference in how your desktop looks. I recommend using Wallpaper Engine, which costs around five bucks but is totally worth it for the variety of high-quality wallpapers available.

Step 3: Turn Off Cortana, Task View Button, and Disable News and Interests

To streamline your desktop, disable unnecessary features like Cortana, the task view button, and the news and interests feed.

Step 4: Center Your Icons

For a more symmetrical look, center your desktop icons. Enable "Links" on your taskbar, then drag the little tab until your icons pop out the other side. Finally, pull them to the center and lock your taskbar in place.

Step 5: Download TranslucentTB

Head over to the Microsoft Store and download TranslucentTB. This tool enables a small taskbar which makes your taskbar look less clunky and removes the unnecessary bar at the bottom of your desktop.

Step 6: Download Rainmeter

Rainmeter is an application that displays the time and date in a super minimal and clean way on your desktop. It's a great finishing touch to make everything look modern and sleek.

Now your desktop should look 10 times better!
