Win 7 style seems perfect on +-fullhd displays, it might be too small on some tiny 4k display (probably anything below 30").

but as far as I remember windows since at least 95 allowed to change size of fonts of many UI elements (popups, menus etc)

Sadly MS having been hiding those tweaks in Win10 for some reason. The registry keys are still present though, so with the right third party tool i can still crank them up to make using explorer with a touch screen that much better.

A lot of that seems to just come from the fact that the new settings system is not "done" as made obvious that it can't replace the old control panel yet.

The lack of consistency in pretty much everything is the main reason I'm still on Windows 7. Every time I look at that end of support milestone I shed a tear. I WANT the Kernel other improvements that 10 offers, but dear lord does it come with significant downsides

Question is why they are ripping out fully working settings dialogs then, before the replacement ones are in.

Never mind the number of "power user" tweaks that are locked behind arbitrary "professional" licensing or plain inaccessible outside of registry diving.
