Tabs and Dark Mode
Somehow I think making the UI as close to the original Edge should be the top priority in the new Edge. It still looks like a slightly reskinned Chrome...
Hi Drew,
Hovering over a tab makes it lighter. But I never noticed it till I did read this and tried it. So, it is clearly not enough it should be made lighter. Don't forget a good part of the population is color blind to some degree. So, trying to be making it just a bit different will not work for them

Yes, Erik, the shading changes when hoovering on a tab. I will tell you (& others) since Edge C does a very good job of applying OS Accent colours when they are told to affect Title Bars & window frames, things can be very easy to see & distinguish. For example...
Cheers,
Drew
Hi Drew,
I had to try it first. A few observations.
- Most end-users will not even know where to find these settings.
- To get a decent hover effect you should not have to customize the color scheme.
- Same as 2 but for the active tab.
- The same is true for the buttons of course.
It was done in Edge. So, why not in Edge C. All (for me at least) they have to do is make the hover effect a bit lighter. Somewhere in the middle of the active and inactive tabs. That is what they did in Edge.
The same is true for the buttons too of course.
erikvp Yes. I use a laptop and another thing I've noticed is sometimes its hard to tell what the active tab is if the screen is at an angle. They need this addressed before launch. In the OG edge, there was enough contrast that even if I couldn't see what the active tab was, i could see all the other tabs, or if I couldn't at all, I could use the tab drop down or hover over the tabs.

Actually, Erik, myself, I used various accent colours long before Edge C and with Edge C, amd not, exclusively, for the sake of the tabs appearances. The rational has been for overall looks... to have a colour scheme that all goes together with the wallpaper & the rest of the system. Whether colouring matches or compliments it is coordinated with everything & the aesthetics end up looking good (in my warped mind, at least). Plus, I will often change the accent colour to go with a changed wallpaper, so, things don't become boring.
The settings are not hard to find or notice. As soon as one starts customizing their machine to their liking they go to Personalize & there it all is.
Cheers,
DrewHi Drew, true it is all there. But lots of people have no clue how a computer works of where to find settings. That is why the slogan " Apple it simple works" is sp great. It
