Dear Stephen Rose,
The new design is a welcome improvement over the previous one, but for an unknown reason, there is still small unnecessary inconsistency, and I would like you to explain it please from your point of view.
For example:
1. To highlight a tab on a menu the new office 365 design & UWP overall design language, use colored underline like in the picture added (highlight_01.jpg, highlight_02.jpg, New OneDrive UI Fixed.png).
2. The welcome title “Good evening/morning base on time” like the one on the new office 365 design is missing which is disappointed because it makes the user experience even more personal.
3. Some Shared Libraries icon lost in the process of this new design such as the “HR Handbook,” Expo V-Team.
4. I am not sure about this, but it looks like the “Recommended” categories are scrollable horizontal and not vertical which is not good because of the Eye laziness rule - the motion review eye's movement is more natural from top to bottom (vertically) than to the sides (horizontally) because it put less stress on the eyes muscles.
