While the preview builds will be published later this month, the stable build of Windows 11 is expected in the fall of 2021 and a wider rollout will begin in early 2022.
Windows Store is also getting a revamp and Android apps are coming via Amazon Appstore. In addition to these new UI improvements, we’re also expecting new Photos and other first-party apps from Microsoft. It is likely that Microsoft is still exploring the feature and it will eventually getting better in the Windows 11 Insider Preview that will be released next week (last week of June). Currently, not much is known about the new header design and how it is being implemented in Windows. These buttons are visible in File Explorer, Notepad and other Windows apps.īased on screenshots from Microsoft, it looks like we’re finally getting a consistent header design across most common apps. In addition, there are a bunch of new icons for common buttons such as cut, copy, share, delete, rename, properties, and more. It’s only getting a visual upgrade, which was long due.
To be clear, Paint is not losing any features as part of the Fluent Design revamp. In MS Paint, the header contains the primary/secondary selection box, brush selection tool, shapes, thickness/thinning slider, outline/fill and all other options we’ve currently.
