Windows 11 Pro Overview Windows 11 The main part of this announcement was a major change to the user interface, codenamed Sun Valley. As we know, a significant part of the UX changes will be borrowed from the Windows 10X shell, and Windows 10X will not be released. Now, as expected, information about Windows 11 is starting to leak. Features of Windows 11 Pro Windows 11 is getting a completely new design. Microsoft clearly needs a good reason to retract its previous claims and continue to abandon Windows 10 by introducing a new operating system number. And the brand new design is great for that. The giant from Redmond has been preparing for a long time to redesign the update codenamed Sun Valley (“Valley of the sun”) – supposedly Windows 11 was under this name. The Sun Valley project flickered online for a long time – Microsoft regularly revealed details about the new interface style, insiders shared previously unknown information, and popular designers drew realistic concepts based on it all. Start and system items hover above the bottom bar. Start is the calling card and face of every latest version of Windows. It is not surprising that the developers will transform it again in Windows 11, but not so much functionally as visually – the Start window will float above the bottom bar. We have to admit that this small change makes the system look a lot fresher. Based on information from the network, Microsoft will not radically change the “inside” of the menu – innovations will affect only the design of the window itself. The control panel will also float, and its design will be exactly the same as that of “Start”. The action center will be combined with the control keys – something similar has been used for a long time in some other operating systems. Almost every mention of the new menu indicates that it will be island-like – with controls on a separate panel, notifications on another, and individual items (like players) on another panel. Right angles disappear and are replaced by roundings. In fact, insiders and concept designers disagree on this issue – some believe that Microsoft will not change its tradition and stick to the right angle, while others are convinced that in 2021 Microsoft will follow the filleting fashion. The latter fits the definition of “All-New Windows” better – floating menus aren’t enough to make a new design truly new. The hacks are expected to affect almost everything in the system, from context menus and system panels to all application windows. True, the opinions of concept designers are divided even on this issue – some draw recesses in all possible surface elements, others combine them with right angles. There will be a transparent background with a blur everywhere. There are disagreements on the web about the island style of the storefront, the design of the corners and the levitation effect of the menu, but almost everyone agrees on the transparency of the storefront. The vast majority of design leaks and renders show transparency and blur in every window, be it at least the Start menu or Explorer. Moreover, these effects are even included in the assembly of the canceled Windows 10X operating system, which Microsoft developed in parallel with the Sun Valley project for devices with two screens and weak gadgets. The so-called acrylic transparency implies the application of new effects when hovering over the elements, as well as increasing the distance between the elements – the surface of the interface with which the user interacts will certainly be larger, and the page titles thicker. A new font that has already been released. Windows 11 will likely use the default Segoe UI Variable responsive font, which was already released in Windows 10 Build 21376 for Insiders.
