Desktop Customization

Desktop Customization - 4

Windows has a personalization panel, but what it actually lets you do is pretty limited. Moving the taskbar or adding widgets to the desktop already requires third-party tools. Here are the best ones for PC. And that's before you get to apps for setting up a macOS-style dock, changing the system color palette, or centering your taskbar icons.
