I thought I'd make a thread so we can share the useful things we have to hack to get a decent UX

UI Tweaks- Make Titlebars use Accent colour >> External Link
- Choose custom Accent colour:
- Press Win+R to bring up the Run dialog
- Type "control color"
- I have found, what with having coloured titlebars, that R163 G163 B163 (#A3A3A3) works pretty well
- Make Virtual desktops useful:
- Open the Settings App and go to System >> Multi-tasking
- Set "On the taskbar, show windows that are open on" to All desktops
- Set "Pressing Alt + Tab shows windows that are open on" to All desktops

Application-specific Tweaks- Firefox
- FXOpera theme makes FF look much more native
- You may want to tweak the default text settings. I found that the default font was Times New Roman. I got better results when I changed this to either Arial or Corbel
- Edge (Project Spartan)
