Microsoft Tries Another Icon Theme For Windows 10

Posted by Soulskill on from the not-solid-color-rectangles dept.

jones_supa writes: Back in February, users decried the new icon look in Windows 10. In response to that feedback, Microsoft has implemented a new icon pack in build 10125, which was leaked early but expected to arrive soon for Technical Preview testers. Screenshots show what the final version of the OS could look like when it goes live this summer. The new icons go all-in on a flat approach, following the same design cues as the rest of the operating system, but the "pixel art" style has been abandoned. Once again, Softpedia asked for user experiences, and this time the comments have been mostly positive.

    very iconic.

    Those "screenshots" are only 600x375. They're more on the side of being huge thumbnails than actual screenshots.

    Unless of course you're still using a 640x480 display, in which case you're seeing an article from the future. Hello from the future! Buy these things called "Bitcoins", they'll be worth hundreds of dollars some day!

    I believe the metaphor you're looking for is "re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic".

    Probably needs both. Lean in for a kiss, and oink, what a smell.
