InPrivate theming
- Apr 27, 2020
Thank you to everyone's comments and feedback! I think we found some great ideas here that we'll be doing some design iterations and further testing on. Stay tuned, and if you have any other feedback about InPrivate or Edge, you can send us your thoughts through the browser at any time.
I expect the app mode (dark or light) to carry over. So I want menus to be light in light mode. I like that currently the toolbar is dark without a theme in light mode as it differentiates them. Maybe themes could have both normal and InPrivate themes (if not already)? Maybe users could set separate themes for normal and InPrivate windows? I also dislike the prominent blue badge whose shape doesn't fit in with Edge.
The user profile button and incognito/InPrivate browsing badge used to be in the top left in the titlebar/tab strip before Chrome 69. Where the badge is positioned may lead people to incorrectly assume that is a new profile when it is not. This is a case for using the theme in InPrivate windows (current behaviour). A simple tweak would be adding which profile the incognito window is for to the popup.
does this have any relevance?
