When I was in the Army we used to have a saying around the round file cabinet; the one that gets emptied daily. I think Microsoft uses our feedback as a fodder for the round file cabinet.

Mac os & Ubuntu dock are looking more polished at any left|right|bottom position.

I have to thank Fernando Pinheiro1
I installed the patch https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
After running the setup you have to check that the application is in your startup so that it runs automatically when you boot your PC.
You can minimize the application so that it doesn't clutter your desktop thereafter.
From my perspective it works a treat.
