Windows 10: This could be our first look at Windows 10’s new rounded UI

Rumours and references within the preview builds have revealed that Microsoft is in the process of overhauling the Windows 10 interface.

The rumours first surfaced online when Microsoft added modern icons to their first-party apps and launched a slightly improved version of Start Menu with theme-aware tiles.

What we didn’t know is that the company could actually improve the user interface of the built-in Settings by bringing rounded corners. The aesthetic update to Windows 10 Settings UI was discovered on a popup posted to Microsoft’s Tips app and it’s a very subtle update.



Remember that these screenshots are mockup posted by Microsoft in the Windows 10’s Tips app.

As you can see in the above screenshot, the redesigned Settings app sports a new icon that is based on Microsoft’s Fluent Design language. In addition, it has more vivid colours compared to the current design, which looks flat and dull.



In the above design mockup, Settings app has only received subtle tweaks with rounded edges, but the changes are enough to give Windows 10 a modern appeal that better matches Microsoft’s new WinUI and Fluent Design approach.

If you look closely at the above image, you’ll notice how the app window and ‘Check for updates’ button have slight curves at each corner. Now compare that with the screenshot of the current Settings app, which has sharp corners and buttons, and you might find the mockup attractive if you like rounded corners.

There’s also a screenshot of Windows Search with translucent UI (semi-transparent).



As we noted at the outset, there’s no clue as to when Microsoft published this design tweak and we couldn’t find any similar mockups when we checked other pages within the Tips app.

These mockups at least give us a closer look at the ideas that Micorosft might be considering internally.

Thanks, Divi for the tip!

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
