"New" Teams meet now defaults to audio call not video call
Hello all, Just been updated to Teams version 23285.3607.2525.937 and in this version, calling other users behaviour in the UI has been changed to instead of having two distinct buttons for either an Audio or Video call, there is now a "Meet Now" button with a drop down where the main click option defaults to an audio call. This is a poor change to the UI design and I also cannot see an option to set video calls to be the default meet now option, is there an option to change the default behaviour and where is it?I want to be able to group app icons on Start menu - Windows 11
for example I want to put PWAs icons in one group, put Photo related app/software icons in another group and so on. Ideally I want to do this by dragging an icon on start menu and dropping it on another icon to form a group - Windows 11 insider Upvote in feedback hub: https://aka.ms/AAdps2rWindows 11: Turn the "Show more options" context menu into a slide down menu
Turn the "Show more options" context menu into a slide down menu and show those extra options in modern style Change the Windows 11 context menu so that when user clicks/taps on "show more options", the context menu expands and the rest of the options become visible in the same modern style with a sliding down animation, possibility with the ability for user to scroll up/down through the options (with mouse wheel or touch).

Scrollbar appearance
Hello! Just note in a picture below how differs controls in IE11, Legacy Edge and current Chromium Edge. Current Edge looks absolutely the same and inconvenient as Google Chrome. PLEASE revert appearance of scrollbars as it was in IE11 or at least Legacy Edge. The shape of that arrow was nice and quiet. Also note the lack of 1px light border in Legacy Edge between content and gray scrollbar itselt; it looks super good and you should come back to it! Remove useless border and take IE11 arrow shape 🙂 Thanks! P.S. I use 125 DPI scaling if you wonder but that's not a big deal, you got the ideaBring back the ability to hold Shift + click on pinned icons on Taskbar to open multiple instances
Bring back the ability to hold Shift + click on pinned icons on Taskbar to open multiple instances of the app Windows 10 has this useful feature but it's missing in Windows 11, where you could hold Shift and then click (left-click) on a pinned app icon on taskbar that is already open, in order to open another instance of the app. for example the file explorer, browser, media player, text editor, calculator and so on.

New Windows dev channel update includes acrylic. Edge team is ridiculous for saying it's outdated.
https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2020/09/02/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-20206/ made the emoji panel "more aligned with our Fluent Design principles, including a new acrylic background." But the Edge team wants to make barely any effort into changing the design of Chromium Edge from Material design and says that transparency no longer aligns with Fluent design. I don't think I'll ever fully understand the Edge team's thought process regarding anything.Build a unified Windows UI experience
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/top-feedback-summary-for-january-12/m-p/2053932 As shown in the link, the introduction of transparency effects for Microsoft Edge dominates the rankings all the year round. Obviously, users are so looking forward to acrylic and fluent design! With the continuous development of FDS, the transparency effect is no longer the focus. We know that using Navigation in XAML will no longer enable the transparency effect of the underlying window by default, and the default transparency effect will remain in the window of this layer. The difference is shown in the figure In this picture, the window title bar and toolbar of "Screenshots and Sketches" are transparent to the desktop and windows below In this screenshot of the Microsoft Store, the elements at the bottom of the window are transparent At present, it seems that the design team intends to adopt "transparency to the elements in the window" as a trend, and will not develop more transparent title bars and side bars in the future. Therefore, the focus is not on transparency, but on other areas. Microsoft Edge now gives me the feeling, as if I changed the Chrome icon to Microsoft's, and then told me, look, this is Microsoft's browser. I think this is a huge irony and tragedy for the visual perception of the Microsoft brand, which means that users cannot really recognize the work that Microsoft is doing on this browser, and-let users understand that this is a different version of Chrome Browser. Microsoft must use practical actions to reshape Microsoft's brand image. I think the core action is to use native controls, or reshape the appearance of non-native controls that look like native controls. This includes the following: 1. Forward and back buttons, refresh buttons, address bar and toolbar 2. Context menu 3. Edge's special pages, such as settings, downloads, favorites, etc. For the address bar toolbar area, I think it’s not too difficult to build the appearance with XAML (or WinUI 3). If it is difficult, it is not too difficult to make these controls look like Windows. This area should look exactly like the old version of Edge. The context menu is a place where it is easy to achieve a smooth design. I think it is nothing more than adding a transparency, adding a matte, adding a noise, adjusting the kerning and line height, and finally adjusting the edge and projection. I don't think how difficult it is, is it really difficult? Or, will you consider WinUI 3 release? Or use XAML island, just like the old version of Edge? Is this really so difficult? I can't understand why I can't do it after a year. I think any user will notice the huge difference between the sidebar of the settings page and the sidebar of XAML Navigation in "Windows Settings". I don’t want to worry about whether the highlight bar is a rounded rectangle (capsule) or a right-angled rectangle-because Both are FDS, but there is no lighting effect (CompositionLight Class), completely different spacing, inexplicable margins, lack of transparency, all of which remind users that this is a web page, not a native one. UI-based application. It seems to have nothing to do with the Windows design language-although it seems that many applications have to do this, indeed, cross-platform, Web development also meets Microsoft's strategic goals, it is really difficult to resist the temptation. Skype, Microsoft Teams, and Outlook to come,-and the latest file explorer used on Windows 10X, the design looks increasingly unrelated, each team has its own ideas, compare , The unification of macOS is simply outrageous! I implore the development team to read this article to help users build a harmonious and unified appearance, One Windows, One Microsoft https://medium.com/microsoft-design/fluent-makeover-photolab-a583d25f362bUI issue with lockdown policies
I manage browser security (amongst many other things) at a company with 8000 workstations. Because of several missing Enterprise features, we haven't rolled out Edge yet. I have enabled GPO Policies to block as many features as possible for standard websites (cookies, popups, tracking, location etc), whilst white-listing our internal domain. The idea here is to prevent malicious sites from hijacking the browser, whilst allowing all internal apps without our users needing to accept things. The problem here is that by default all of these restrictions are shown in the "View Site Information" page, even when the site is not actively using them. This is a big UI problem for screens with a standard resolution like 1366x768, because the bottom half of the window is cut off and inaccessible. So I have several questions here: why are all of the policies shown, even if they are not in use by the page? can we add an expand/collapse button to this list, if it contains more than X elements? Ideally this should be based on your screen resolution, so that 1366x768 shows 2 items, where as 1600x900 shows 5 See the below screenshot as case in point. I very much doubt this forum is trying to use all of these permissions... 1366x768 resolution 1600x900 resolution
