Re: Yellow Folders
About a month back, I took a screenshot of Old Edge / New Edge / Chrome for comparison, and to my eyes, actual CHROME looks more like Old Edge than New Edge does. (Tell me I'm wrong... see below!)
Are yellow folders so hard to implement? The Favorites Bar just looks so drab and unfinished without the color. I'm flabbergasted that "Open all (52) favorites in a new window" is a feature that made the cut but yellow folders still haven't.
Unfortunately, the longer I use the new Edge, the more I'm getting used to it. The overall look does seem to be consistent with the theme of the Windows 10 task bar in dark mode, when you keep the task bar on the top like I do.
Lastly, I had this thought: Since the only people, more or less, who used old Edge frequently were us Microsoft fanboys and other insiders, and the idea is to have this new version gain widespread adoption, maybe emulating the look of the Old Edge really isn't the best idea in the world, ya know?
They had yellow folders.
MS actively destroyed them despite user feedback - That is how they "hear" us in reality

Mat, things are measured by the amount of user feedback. That must be what explains such things. And consistency (in design) may have won out over yellow.

They actually promised to put the yellow ones back - it's in an older thread.
If their guidelines says that white on white is a good idea for people with reduced eyesight - the should fix the broken guideline instead of producing very bad user experience
- HotCakeXDec 09, 2019MVPYou're referring to the favorites folder color, right?
