Windows Control Panel. Everything's there, multiple ways to sort it all, no need to go shake things up

Ah yes. Perfection:

Or maybe:

No? maybe this.

Edit I missed windows XP

No shakeups at all, it’s like a rock.

Perfectly reliable and unchanged from the beginning.

Edit since folks choose to distinguish “Settings” from “Control Panel” as if that doesn’t make the point even stronger. I’ll admit that it’s been pretty consistent since Windows 7. Still very different than the first iteration.

This comment is a time capsule goddamn

Well, the last 2 images you linked are Settings and not Control Panel, from versions that decided to not only have that but also the Control Panel, and Control Panel is thematically the same across all versions

That makes it worse! Clearly they did not get it right the first time around, or there wouldn’t be any reason to tweak and replace it all constantly.

There really wasn't.

Control panel is that drawer of tools, tape, rubber bands, and glue that’s near the kitchen

top right: view by category. switch that to classic and it's back to the same one of the old days

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

Oh hell no. You don’t remember it coming out and everyone complaining about how convoluted it was. Pepperidge farm remembers.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

People complained that a few things were hard to find, but not that the control panel itself was convoluted.
