Windows 11 Improve Visibility of Media Controls
Media controls are hard to see in light mode. Please add native dynamic taskbar features: replace weather or search with media controls when playing music.

Microsoft has recently introduced a redesigned media control interface in Windows 11 Insider Preview builds. The new design features :
Larger visual canvas with more prominent album art
Bigger touch targets for easier interaction on tablets and touchscreens
Centered playback controls (previous, play/pause, next) for cleaner aesthetics
Streamlined source switching between different media apps
If you're not seeing this redesign yet, it may be coming in a future Windows update (potentially version 24H2). You can join the Windows Insider Program to access it early
