This 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 powered by AI and improved performance of the Microsoft Edge browser, Microsoft Teams Chat integrated into the taskbar and More! . What's new in Windows 11: - Windows 11 will receive a completely new design. Microsoft clearly needs a good reason to reverse its past statements and abandon Windows 10 by introducing a new operating system number. And a completely new design is great for this. The Redmond giant has long been preparing a redesign for an update codenamed Sun Valley ("Sun Valley") - apparently, this was the name Windows 11. The Sun Valley project has been appearing on the network for a long time - Microsoft regularly disclosed details of the new interface style, insiders shared previously unknown information, and the most famous designers in their circles drew realistic concepts based on all this data. - Startup and system items float above the bottom bar. Start is the business card and face of every recent version of Windows. It is not surprising that in Windows 11 developers will transform it again, but not so much in functional terms as in visual terms: the Start window will move above the bottom bar. We must admit that this small change makes the look of the system much fresher. Judging by the information coming from the network, Microsoft will not radically change the "insides" of this menu: innovations will affect only the design of the window itself. The control panel will also float, and its design will be exactly the same as that of the "Start". The action center will be combined with the control buttons: a similar one has been used for a long time in some other operating systems. Almost all references to this new menu indicate that it will be an island: the control buttons will be located on a separate panel, notifications will be on another, and specific elements (such as a player) on another separate one. - Right angles will disappear and will be replaced by fillets. In fact, insiders and concept designers disagree on this point: some are confident that Microsoft will not change its traditions and will keep right angles, while others are convinced that in 2021 Microsoft will follow the trend of fillets. The latter fits the definition of "completely new Windows" better: simply hovering over the menus is not enough for a new design to be considered truly new. Fillets are expected to affect practically everything in the system, from context menus and system panels to all application windows. True, on this issue too, concept designers differ in their opinions: some draw fillets in all possible interface elements, others combine them with right angles. - There will be a translucent background with blurring everywhere. There is disagreement on the web about the island style of displaying showcases, the design of corners and the levitation effect of the menu, but almost everyone is unanimous about the transparency of showcases. The vast majority of leaks and design renders show transparency and blurring in all windows, at least in the Start menu or Explorer. Moreover, these effects are also found in the assembly of the canceled Windows 10X operating system, which Microsoft was developing in parallel with the Sun Valley project for devices with two screens and weak gadgets. The so-called acrylic transparency involves the use of new effects when hovering over elements, as well as increased spacing between elements: those areas of the interface with which the user interacts will certainly become larger, and the page titles will be thickened. - New font that has already been shown. Most likely Windows 11 will use the default Segoe UI Variable responsive font, which has already appeared in Windows 10 Build 21376 for Insiders. Its advantage is that it is suitable for both small texts and large inscriptions.
