Dev channel update to 80.0.361.5 is live
The biggest problem with Fluent Design on the current day - it isn't something determined at least for the public. The first apps on win10 had acrylic transparency, strict angles for fields and buttons, and bevel highlighting, current "Fluent Design" doesn't have them at all and apps after recent updates lost these distinctive features. So we can't speak about any consistency especially with archaic win 8 file explorer as an example of future proof planning which got on win10 only not so good dark theme and updated search.
Other problem, yellow folders aren't something that community frequently ask. We asked for Acryl, for good dark theme which doesn't flash with white when form still loading content end etc. So looks like this was someone internal desition, we didn't see any poll confirms this. Obviously Edgium was designed as monochromic, and IMHO a good manner to change something without conferring is to give the user a choice. Yellow as default, monochrome as optional it isn't something special or harmful for the product. Everyone knows that more than 80% of users always use the default setting anyway.
Henry08 Sorry, that's completely false. As someone who has requested getting rid of the horrible gray folder icons since the very beginning (and restoration of proper consistent yellow color folders) I have seen hundreds of similar comments from my meager forum and web browsing on the topic. Just because you personally don't like the consistent yellow color doesn't mean that you represent the majority opinion.
