About this tag
On WindowsForum.com, the tag 'eye candy' appears in discussions about desktop customization and visual flair in Windows operating systems.

Others critique Microsoft's focus on aesthetics over stability, as seen in reviews of Windows 8.1. The tag reflects a community interest in personalizing the Windows desktop experience with themes, widgets, and visual effects.

    VIDEO Extremely negative review of 8.1... fair?

    This gentleman has gone through Windows 8.1 Preview and completely found every possible inkling wrong with it. For the most part, I have looked forward to the technical changes in 8.1 that, perhaps, might increase the stability of the kernel when interacting with rogue drivers. You know...

    Windows 7 Windows 7 'feel'

    To me, Windows 7 just feels so much different from Xp and past OS's. Even in classic theme, it just seems glossier and more eye candy. Does anyone feel the same? And is there away to make it feel like Windows 95 or 2000? Even a guide for Vista because that feels the same way as 7 to me.
