It’s the latest release of the Windows operating system with a new interface and other new features like the new Microsoft Store, a new AI-powered personal channel, and best-in-class browser performance for Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Chat Teams. integrated into the taskbar and more!
What’s new in Windows 11:
– Windows 11 will get a completely new design. It’s clear that Microsoft needs a good reason to retract previous claims and still abandon Windows 10 by introducing a new operating system number. And the brand new design is perfect for that. The Redmond giant has long been working on a redesign of the update called Solar Valley (“Valley of the Sun”) – apparently Windows 11 was under this name. The Sun Valley project has been shining on the network for a long time – Microsoft regularly announced information about new interface styles, insiders shared previously unknown information, and popular designers in their circle drew realistic concepts based on all this data.
– Launched and system items will float above the bottom bar. Start is the calling card and face of every latest version of Windows. It is not surprising that in the Windows 11 operating system, the developers will transform it again, but not so much functionally as visually – the Start window will be above the bottom bar. We have to admit that this small change makes the system look a lot more updated. Judging by the information on the network, Microsoft will not radically change the “interior” of this menu – the innovations will affect only the design of the window itself. The control panel will also float and will have the exact same design as Start. The Action Center will be combined with control buttons, similar to what some other operating systems have been using for a long time. Almost all mentions of this new menu indicate that it will be an island, with controls in a separate panel, notifications in another, and specific items (like the player) in a separate one.
– Rectangles will disappear, replaced by fillets. In fact, insiders and concept creators are divided on this issue, with some convinced that Microsoft will not change its tradition and keep right angles, while others believe that Microsoft will follow the fillet fashion in 2021. The latter is more in line with the definition of “all-new Windows” – sliding menus alone aren’t enough to make a new design truly new. The files are expected to affect almost everything on the system, from context menus and system panels to all application windows. True, even on this issue, the opinions of concept developers differ – some draw fillets on all possible interface elements, others combine them at right angles.
– There will be a transparent background with a blur everywhere. There is disagreement on the Internet about the island style of windowing, the design of corners and the levitation effect of menus, but almost everyone agrees on the transparency of windows. The vast majority of design leaks and renders show transparency and blur across all windows, whether it’s at least the Start menu or Explorer. Moreover, these effects are present even when installing the canceled Windows 10X operating system, which Microsoft developed for devices with two screens and weak apps in parallel with the Sun Valley project. The so-called acrylic transparency means the use of new effects when hovering over elements, as well as increased spaces between elements – those areas of the interface with which the user interacts will certainly become larger, and page titles will be thickened.
– New font that was already shown. Windows 11 will likely use the default responsive Segoe UI Variable font, which already appeared in Windows 10 Build 21376 for Insiders. Its advantage is that it is equally suitable for small texts and large notes.
