How to make Edge look like it does on the dev blog?

On the insider blog Edge always looks about 10 times better then mine, is this just a concept or can you actually make it look like this?

    This UI is called Phoenix, and it got scrapped many blue moons ago.

  • Microsoft does roll out UI features in the dev/insider channels that can make Edge look way better. You just need to enable some flags, maybe switch to a beta or dev build, and tweak the appearance settings.

  • Edge allows some customization of the new tab page, including background images, widgets, and layout which can match the styled versions seen in blogs.

    A lot of what you see on those blogs are either experimental features, custom themes, or design concepts that Microsoft is testing out. Sometimes they’re just mockups or placeholders, not something you can easily get in your regular version of Edge.
