I don't know why the dev decided not to make this win7 compatible but that was a mistake.
Win7 is not dead, it's not close to dead, and people will still be using it in significant numbers until and probably even after microsoft releases their next OS.
If you are going to develop for windows at all, ignoring win7 support is pure absurdity.
You know, except for when EternalBlue forced Microsoft to release a patch for Windows XP after support ended to prevent things from exploding. They won't do the same this time.
EternalBlue affected pretty much all versions of windows, including 8 & 10 which were well inside their support period. Nothing about that was winxp or even win7 exclusive.
Also by the time that exploit came out most people weren't even on winxp anymore. Most people who were avoiding win8 & 10 had long since migrated to win7 which was also within it's support window and was still affected.
As for microsoft not fixing such an issue if it were to happen again...
Your whole argument is that they fixed it the last time something major happened and therefore they won't in the future? You pretty much shot your own argument in the foot as you made it.
If something like that happens again, microsoft will fix it because it's a major black mark on their company if they don't. As awful of a company as microsoft is and as little as they care about their users, they can't and won't ignore an issue like that. It's just too damaging to their company for them to do that.
I've been down this road multiple times before through multiple versions of windows. An older "unsupported version" is not drastically less safe than whatever their current offering is. They certainly would like you to think that is the case since it benefits them for you to do so but it just isn't true.
this is adorable! my computer is super calming and cheery now. i think flowers and such are supposed to grow on the task bar, but they won't show up for me. is there any way to fix this? thank you so much!
Is it possible to change which monitor it comes up on? I can't seem to get any settings to pull up, and all the icons are unusably-tiny on my 4k monitor
I LOVE it, but it bugs out when you open/close a game :( The mailbox gets tucked into the right corner and the buttons on the left get pushed more to the right so they're covering the taskbar. Also the flowers get pushed slightly into the window instead of being ontop of them. So I guess perfect for people who only use their PC for work, but gamers might have a tough time with it
I absolutely love this. But I've found a bug. I have to restart Desktop Meadow everytime I turn off/on my monitors- because Dell does this annoying thing with their monitors now where they basically 'unplug' when turned off. So the shifting of resolutions created by this, causes all the sprites in Desktop Meadow to shift downwards and clip into the windows.
This also has a hidden unnamed process running in the background that keeps your computer from shutting down. You have to find the hidden process and delete the folder in order to delete it, it's pretty annoying but I did it.
nothing is showing but the task manager says it's running! tried restarting the exe file and my computer and everything else but it still won't show :( help please!

Love this, got it in the equality bundle. I'd pay extra for the ability for it to work across multiple monitors and maximized windows <3
This looks cute, too bad I can't try it.

Support for Windows 7 from Microsoft ended in January, it's a genuine security risk to keep it as your daily driver.
No, it's not. That is a lie microsoft tells the public to motivate people to upgrade.
If you were ever relying on microsoft to keep you safe then you were never safe to begin with.
Get a respectable internet security suite like bitdefender and win7 is just fine.
People and businesses used winxp for years after microsoft ended their support and nothing exploded.

That's a pretty bad example.

It interferes with ShareX, so if there's any way that could be fixed, that'd be lovely.

i think flowers and such are supposed to grow on the task bar, but they won't show up for me. is there any way to fix this? thank you so much!
Same for me. A real bummer since most of my windows are vertically maximized so can’t see any flowers on them.
This is the cutest little thing..absolutely adorable and I cannot wait until I get a letter! Cheers.
