Windows 10: Windows 10’s Start Menu might be getting curvy corners soon

It looks like Microsoft is finally planning a subtle change to the design of future versions of Windows 10, with the recent development suggesting that rounded corners are coming back to focus.

In an effort to make Windows 10’s interface consistent with web and app-style direction, Microsoft will be cutting corners of the Start Menu in the next major release of its operating system.

We’ve already seen that Microsoft has been experimenting with rounded corners in the operating system. Last year, Microsoft published a proposal to update default control styles with rounder corners in XAML-based apps to make them easy to customize for developers.

Rather than sharp and square corners, Microsoft is now looking at an updated design that will have curved or rounded corners for context menu. In a popup posted on Microsoft’s Tips & Tricks page, a new screenshot has been spotted revealing that rounded corners might be coming to Start Menu and taskbar search bar.



If you look closely at the above screenshot, the corners of the context menu and Windows Search bar are rounded. While this is just a minor aesthetic and unannounced change, it does bring a more modern feel to Windows 10’s Start Menu and Taskbar.

It’s worth noting that previous versions Windows including Windows 7 and Windows Vista have had rounded corners (sort of), but with Windows 8 and Windows 10’s Metro user interface, Microsoft ditched Windows 7’s classic aero and rounded corners for sharp and square corners on Windows 10.

The board aim is to unify the common controls across apps and the operating system to achieve more overall consistency.

In addition to the round corners, Microsoft is also working on new theme-aware live tiles for Start Menu.

Remember that this is the first design mockup for rounded corners posted by Microsoft and a new look for the interface is still very much at the development, so we don’t know when it will actually be implemented in Windows 10.

Thanks for the tip, Divi.

Windows 10 Start menu issue

yeah I've been less than happy with the start menu also.
for me I for me I get freezes in start menu, especialy returning from sleep...which reminds me sleep is such a pain in the butt since I switch to Windows 10. Either waking up on its own, or system freezes when recovering from sleep

Stardock was a nice switch from vanilla, but i wasnt gonna buy it and 30 days goes by quick.
