Re: Introducing new Fluent Iconography for Microsoft Edge
Thanks for clarifying! While implementing that functionality isn't currently on our roadmap, we'd love to know more about how it would be helpful for you. Can you send in feedback through the browser, and in the description detail how this would improve your workflows? The team can review from there!Re: Introducing new Fluent Iconography for Microsoft Edge
Thanks for the suggestion! The team is looking at how we can incorporate additional Fluent elements into Edge. Our goal is to make your browsing experience feel modern, expressive, and tailored to you. The elements you've noted are in consideration as we evaluate our options. Your opinion and feedback help us understand this better.Introducing new Fluent Iconography for Microsoft Edge
Hello Edge Insider community! We recently released the first of many visual updates we have planned for Edge as we modernize and evolve our design language. First, we’re focusing on our core system iconography which hasn’t been updated since the days of our second Microsoft Design Language (MDL2), circa 2014. This has been a Microsoft-wide design initiative and it was important for Edge to be early adopters of the new, open-source Fluent Design System icons which were announced at the 2020 Build conference. This effort covers more than two hundred icons, many of which have been custom made for Edge. The new icon system builds off the visual design updates first seen in our refreshed Microsoft app icons, which includes the latest Edge logo. We’re now rolling out the first of 2 phases to update the app iconography. This phase will impact many of our high-touch user interfaces, including tabs, address bar, as well as navigational and wayfinding icons found in our various menus. There were many reasons we felt this effort was worth our attention, but most notably our motivations were to start modernizing the look & feel of the user interface. The new Fluent iconography system provides functional optimizations for user experience as each icon is based on a standard keyline and grid. This will improve scannability as you browse menus and navigation. We’ve also seen optimized rendering across platforms and devices so no matter which device you’re browsing the web on the icons will appear sharp and easy to read. Lastly, if you’re a Microsoft 365 user you’ll start to see more coherence between Edge and other great products you probably already use, such as Outlook for iOS and Android where these icons are already in use. Sorgenfrey) The next phase of this work will cover the remaining product surfaces that aren’t being covered in phase one, which are Developer Tools and our Extension experience. Additional to iconography, we know that there are many elements that represent Fluent design. Over the next few months we’ll be actively exploring ways that we can create a more beautiful, expressive, moving, browsing experiences for all our users. Our goal is to make something unique to browsers, while delivering a modern look and feel that matches Microsoft 365 and our brand personality. We hope you’ll love the new iconography as much as we do, and as always please share your thoughts with us so we can continue to improve and evolve.

Hi HotCakeX, out of curiosity, who is the "someone else" you have in mind for this and why is that piece important? Is this a shared family device type of scenario? Or are you more thinking an administrator pushing an update? "... when an update was installed, specially when my computer is being used by someone else"Re: Support themes from the Chrome Web Store - Discussion
noahdsmith and others on the thread... Could you give us more detail on what you mean by "transparency, pictures, and colour"? Which areas of the browser are you expecting to be affected by those elements and what would be helpful/visually pleasing to see? How are you expecting to customize your browser? Which areas of the browser or functionality would you find not useful?Re: New Edge same boring dark or light theme choice
MarsMas That's fair, but every browser does something different, with different levels of customization (Chrome has predefined themes, Vivaldi lets you tweak a few set colors, etc.), so we're interested in finding out what levels of customization stand out to our customers as the best path forward.Re: New Edge same boring dark or light theme choice
gbm97 Hi there! Would love to take this opportunity to learn more about your wishlist for themes: What would it mean to you to have more theming options in the browser? What would theming look like, how do you imagine them affecting the browser? What are your unmet needs here, what would having more theming options allow you to do? Thanks! Irina
