Windows 11 Pro Overview Windows 11

The main part of this press release was supposed to present a significant change in the user interface, codenamed Sun Valley. As we know, a significant part of the UX changes are borrowed from the Windows 10X shell, and Windows 10X is not coming to the market. Now, as expected, the Windows 11 information leak begins. Windows 11 Pro features Windows 11 will receive a completely new design. Microsoft clearly needs a good reason to refute its previous claims and still abandon Windows 10 by introducing a new operating system number.

And a completely new design fits in well with it

The Redmond giant has long been preparing a redesign for the update codenamed Sun Valley (“Sun Valley”) – apparently, under this name it was Windows 11. The Sun Valley project flashed on the network for a long time – Microsoft regularly revealed details about the new interface style, insiders shared previously unknown information, and designers popular in their circles drew realistic concepts based on all this information. The Start and system elements float above the bottom bar. Start is the calling card and face of all recent versions of Windows. It is not surprising that in Windows 11, developers are changing it again, but not so much functionally as visually – the Start window will float above the bottom bar.

The right angles will disappear, they will be replaced by fillets

We must admit that this small change will make the appearance of the system much fresher. Judging by the information received on the network, Microsoft will not radically change the “insides” of this menu – the 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 the “Start”. The Action Center will be combined with the control buttons into one – something similar has been used in some other operating systems for a long time. Almost all mentions of this new menu indicate that it is an island – the control buttons are located in a separate panel, notifications are in another, and certain elements (such as the player) in another separate panel.

There is a translucent background and blur everywhere

In reality, insiders and concept designers disagree on this issue – some are convinced that Microsoft will not change its traditions and stick to right angles, while others are convinced that in 2021 Microsoft will follow the fillet fashion. The latter fits better with the definition of “all-new Windows” – just floating menus is not enough for the new look 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, even here the opinions of concept designers differ – some draw fillets on all possible interface elements, others combine them with right angles. The Internet disagrees on the island style of windows, the design of corners and the levitation effect of the menu, but almost everyone agrees on the transparency of windows.

A new font, which has already been presented

Most leaks and design renderings show transparency and blurring in all windows, be it at least the Start menu or Explorer. Moreover, these effects are even in the configuration of the canceled Windows 10X operating system, which Microsoft developed with two monitors and weak devices 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 increasing the distance between elements – the areas of the interface with which the user interacts will certainly become larger, and the titles of the pages will become thicker. Windows 11 is likely to use the default responsive Segoe UI Variable font, which has already appeared in Windows 10 Build 21376 for Insiders.
