Microsoft is a firm that to date and since it launched Windows 10 in summer 2015, has shown that it does not stop improving the operating system. This is something that is extended to all levels, something that the users themselves benefit from.
In this way, what the Redmond- based firm intends is that we have an increasingly functional, robust, secure, and attractive system. This last section, although at first it may seem somewhat more irrelevant, is very important. Windows 10 is a software that approaches 1000 million users worldwide, so it must be aesthetically adapted to the times.
The Windows 10 interface will receive a significant improvement
Moreover, those of Redmond do not intend to stop at these figures, so the operating system will continue to grow in terms of use over time. To this we must add that Windows 7 is very close to its end, since in just a few days it will stop receiving official support, so many will finally decide to migrate. Therefore, as we have just learned, Microsoft has been working on a very interesting change that will occur in the Windows 10 interface .
This is something that the same firm has officially confirmed only a few hours ago, we are referring to the important update of system icons that is being prepared. How could it be otherwise, all these designs are based on Fluent Design , and we are not talking about a handful of these elements, no.
Specifically, Redmond’s own company informs us that more than 100 icons have been redesigned in this new review. Thus, as we know now, they have carried out a substantial review of these used elements on a day-to-day basis with the PC , all based on Fluent Design and using new colors, textures and finishes. These are elements that we have been using since Old versions, such as Windows 95 icons , for example. It is also clear that all this will help us to have a user interface more in line with the future .
Microsoft redesigns more than 100 icons of its operating system
It is worth mentioning that the software giant began working on this modern icon set some time ago, starting with Microsoft Office . This then extended to other areas, continuing with a series of basic Windows 10 applications. So now it is moving at a much faster pace with a new package of 100 new designs that we will see in the near future.
In fact Jon Friedman , corporate vice president of design and research at Microsoft, explains that Fluent Design, the design language used in Windows 10, played a key role in creating the new icons . With all this, as expected, we want to offer a much more friendly and understandable interface for everyone. In addition to the use of the mentioned design language, it is intended to improve the user experience while expanding the range of colors, textures and finishes of these elements.
Here are included icons for a huge number of functions and applications of Windows 10. Among these we can highlight Paint, Calculator, Mail , or File Explorer , among many others. As you know, Edge and Office have recently received new icons recently. Finally, we will say that with these changes we will say goodbye to the old flat icon design, taking another step forward in this aspect.
