Dev channel update to 80.0.361.5 is live
josh_bodner Who knew the folder icons would be such a hot topic? When they were clear glyphs, you heard from all the people who wanted them yellow. Now that they're yellow, you hear from all the people who want them clear.
Yes, you could satisfy the tiny percentage of users who care by making it an option (perhaps under the Appearance settings). And if you did, well that would be cool—I'm not saying it wouldn't. But is it that important? Chrome has yellow folders. It's not an option and they're not asking anyone's opinion about it. And yet 60% of all web users are happy using Chrome; they take whatever Google gives them. Opera has clear folders and has about 1.5% market share (astonishingly, less than half that even of UWP Edge, which has yellow folders). Is there a causal relationship here? Obviously not. Very few users care (many probably don't even notice.) So why should Microsoft sweat over this?
Yes, crazy the amount of time and discussion this has had. Not only it is the familiar to Chrome, it is, also, the familiar, the norm for a long time for Windows, IE and Edge.
Yes, indeed, I, too, always find it comical when people seem want something, get it and then hear, oh no don't want that LOL. Come on folks make up your mind (just joking about). Anyway, the traditional colour and realism is just as fine as it's always been.
We could always move on to other things...
Cheers,
Drew
