Added a page in Settings to choose your desired New Tab Page layout.
I believe this setting is NOT needed, as its available on the New Tab page. I suggest to combine On Startup and New Tab Page pages in Settings into one with 2 above subsections. In New Tab Page subsection, offer choice:
- User Set Layout
- Empty Tab
- Open a Web Page
Generally, try cutting the list of Settings pages to bare minimum, and make each such page contain many relevant settings, not just left almost empty.

in the inprivate windows, it is still very difficult to distinguish the active tab, it does not differ from the rest

I know that maybe it's a bit to much to ask custom search engine on the new tab.
So, could we, at least, remove the search field?

@orlando2bjr the "new tab URL" chrome extension works in Edge also. It will let you set the new tab page to whatever URL you want.
It would be nice if they added "blank page" and a custom URL to the new tab page.

Thanks, @null_character , but I want to keep the daily image from Bing.
I've tested the extension but if I set it to bing.com it also has no way of hiding the search bar. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

@josh_bodner Can you please include font smoothing/anti-aliasing the way non-chromium Edge has it now?

Oh it's so weird talking to people and not by name, geesh.
Anyway, > Chrome store and grab this extension (see below). I did heaps of looking & experimenting... and, it will do exactly what you want... although, maybe not using the Bing Daily picture, but, you will, still, probably love what all there is available (for background). Trust me, from 1st hand use, this is perfect. And look what one of the options is :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
This is it installed
Just go grab it HERE & there you go :thumbs_up::thumbs_up::ok_hand:
And see, no search bar
In fact, the search bar is not needed since the address/search box is (always) at the top of the page, anyway; one hardly needs 2 search boxes on the same page, good point.
Cheers,
Drew

Using the dark theme, the active tab is nearly impossible to guess. Here it is slightly lighter due to the clipping tool, but not when viewed on the monitor:

The solution is to use an OS Accent colour that affords a certain amount of contrast. And have checked ✔ Show accent colour on Title bars & window borders.
I run Dark & have no trouble seeing the tabs. I found out it depends on the OS Accent colour used how easy or hard it is to see the tabs.

Excellent recommendation was excellent. Many thanks - just what I was looking for! Have just signed up to the forum to thank you. Don't seem to be able to like your post but consider yourself morally liked.
Meanwhile - seriously, Microsoft, let us change the search provider on the new tab screen. I can't imagine this is any more than a few lines of code. It comes across as a deliberate choice of a dark pattern.

Nope. That works for, say, Windows Explorer, but for Edge Dev is has the reverse effect. When Edge Dev looses focus, it is displayed as you mention, but as soon as it gets focus, the setting has no effect.

@Gustav Brock
Are you sure about that?
Funnily enough, the all dark is how I'd prefer it to be for Edge.... Swap title bars?

@Loccy
You are most welcome :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes: And, thanks for the 'Like' ;) Yes, in that NTP you can, indeed, pick a search engine, so true. Although, with this one can, also, not even have the Search bar showing (btw). We are talking about Infinite Dashboard (extension) from the Chrome store. The videos for backgrounds are neat, too.
Subject change:
Here is an example of tabs being easy to see whilst using Dark Mode

Hi
This is about problem I had with either one version of edge dev before this one (xx.2) or ahci intel driver.
I don't know is it edge dev problem but maybe it is (I don't even know if edge can do that, what was the problem)
My computer would start blu ray (seek noise, led on) while there is no disk present.
This behaviour happened few times a day.
After I unintalled edge dev and switched intel ahci for ms ahci it stopped.
Its hard to say that it is either edge dev or intel ahci related but it is possible.
I now reinstalled edge dev but left ms ahci.
So far so good.
Best regards.
