It is the latest version of the Windows operating system with a new interface and other new features, such as the new Microsoft Store, a new personalized feed with AI support and the top-notch performance of the Microsoft Edge browser, as well as the chat with Microsoft Teams integrated into it, the taskbar and much more! What’s new in Windows 11: – Windows 11 gets a completely new look. Microsoft clearly needs a good reason to move away from its previous claims and continue to ditch Windows 10 with a new operating system number. And the brand new look is great for this. The Redmond giant has long been preparing a new look update codenamed Sun Valley (“Sun Valley”) – under this name, apparently, Windows 11 was supposed to be. The Sun Valley project has been flickering on the network for a long time – Microsoft regularly revealed details about the new interface style, insiders shared previously unknown information, and popular designers in their circles drew realistic concepts based on all this data. – Start and system elements float above the bottom bar. Start is the calling card and face of every latest version of Windows. No wonder the developers are going to redesign it again in Windows 11, but not so much in terms of functionality as visually – the Start window will float above the bottom bar. Admittedly, this small change makes the system look much fresher. Judging by the information from the Internet, Microsoft is not going to radically change the “inner workings” of this menu – the innovations will only affect the design of the window itself. The control panel will also float and its design will exactly match the “Start”. The Action Center will be combined with control buttons – something similar has long been available in some other operating systems. Almost all mentions of this new menu indicate that it will be island-like – control buttons will be on a separate panel, notifications on another, and certain elements (for example, the player) on another separate panel. – Right angles will disappear and be replaced by curves. The truth is that insiders and concept designers disagree on this issue – some are convinced that Microsoft will not change its traditions and maintain the right angle, while others are convinced that Microsoft will jump on the rounded trend in 2021. The latter fits the definition of “completely new Windows” better – menus floating above the screen alone are not enough to consider a new design as truly new. Rounding is supposed to affect practically everything in the system, from context menus and system windows to all application windows. True, the opinions of concept developers differ on this issue too – some draw curves in all possible interface elements, others combine them with right angles. – A transparent background with blur is displayed everywhere. There is disagreement on the Internet about the island style of window display, corner design and menu floating effect, but almost everyone agrees about the transparency of windows. The vast majority of leaks and design renderings show transparency and blur in all windows, be it at least in the Start menu or Explorer. Moreover, these effects are even in the composition of the discontinued Windows 10X operating system, which Microsoft developed in parallel with the Sun Valley project for dual-screen devices and weak gadgets. The so-called acrylic transparency means the use of new effects when hovering over elements, as well as greater spacing between elements – the areas of the interface with which the user interacts will certainly become larger, and page titles will become bolder. – New font that has already been shown. Windows 11 will most likely use the standard responsive Segoe UI Variable font, which is already included in Windows 10 build 21376 for insiders. Its advantage is that it is equally suitable for small texts and large inscriptions.
