Windows 10: Microsoft adding drop shadows to Chromium popups on Windows 10

As part of its Fluent Design push, Microsoft has been adding a subtle drop shadow to many menus and core parts of Windows 10. Microsoft also plans to implement the drop shadow effect in Chromium for menus that have been created with HTML form controls. This would allow the company to further differentiate the look and feel of its implementation.

According to a new commit, Microsoft has started working on a new change that would add drop shadow support for popup menu across the webpages in Chromium for Windows 10.

“This CL adds drop shadow support for popups on Windows when the FormControlsRefresh feature is enabled,” the commit reads. Microsoft notes that forms controls refresh is a feature which updates the UI for the HTML forms elements.

At the moment, Microsoft is considering drop shadow support for popups only. For example, you will notice a drop shadow effect behind HTML elements like the modern colour picker.



“CL [will] introduce a new shadow type (SHADOW_TYPE_OS_PROVIDED), which the html menus are going to use for FormControlsRefresh. By using the new shadow type a menu explicitly chooses to use the drop shadow provided by the OS,” the commit reads.

“Since drop shadow is not supported on Windows versions without DWM composition, then the drop shadow is replaced by a thin-line border by using the WS_BORDER style,” the company noted.

There’s a flag titled ‘Web Platform Controls updated UI’ in Chrome Canary and ‘Web Platform Fluent Controls’ in Chromium Edge to facilitate modern web controls.

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.

 

Drop shadow for desktop icon text font keeps coming back

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query In Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem.

Method: 1

The drop shadows on applications in the Windows 10 really big and suspiciously similar to the ones in OS X, and if they aren’t your speed, you can easily remove them. We actually think they look good, but since somebody out there won’t like them, here is
how to disable them.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps to Disable drop shadows.

• Alternatively you can use the Start Menu and search for “advanced system settings” and click on that item.
• Go to the advanced tab and click the Settings
  button under Performance.
• Find and uncheck “Show shadows under windows” and click
  Apply or OK.
• The drop shadows will immediately be removed.
• As soon as you do, all drop shadow effects will be disabled, giving you a truly flat user interface.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank you.
