microsoft edge design
1 TopicThe new icons in Canary make Edge's design feel even more disconnected from Windows.
https://mspoweruser.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/full-page-screen-capture-edge.jpg in Canary don't match those of the rest of the Windows operating system. In any Windows app, the settings icon has 8 spokes on the gear--you can see this in the Start menu and in the settings icon in apps like Microsoft News, Photos, and Camera. The normal Home icon can be seen in the Windows Settings app and in Backstage View in the Microsoft Office apps. The new Canary channel icons don't match those anymore. It makes Edge's design even more inconsistent with Windows's design than it already is. It's bad enough that Edge retains Material Design from Chromium, but it's worse that Edge is going to replace the only parts of the design that feel consistent with Windows. To my knowledge, Fluent design has separate mobile and desktop icons to feel natural on every device. Mobile icons should not be used on Windows. EDIT: looking more closely at their wording on the iconography and https://medium.com/microsoft-design/developing-an-open-source-icon-system-at-microsoft-b1796315df9f, it looks like the new icons are going to be the same across all of Microsoft.3.3KViews0likes6Comments
