What do you think of the new Windows 10 icons?

May 26, 2015 11:33 GMT  ·  By

The Windows 10 icon saga is about to come to an end, as Microsoft has finally implemented a new pack in build 10125, which seems to address all complaints and make the majority of users come to better feelings when it comes to this side of the operating system.

As we told you yesterday, most people seem to like the new Windows 10 icons, but since then, we've also received comments telling us that Microsoft had better change these icons once again because, otherwise, some people might actually refuse to upgrade.

Are ugly icons reason enough to refuse to upgrade? It seems so, although we're pretty sure that this is only valid for consumers, as companies, where productivity is the most important thing, don't put such a big price on the way the icons look.

Just as in every other Windows version, Windows 10 will allow users to change the default icons, but that obviously takes time, and some do not want to spend so much changing something that in their opinion wasn't made right by Microsoft. So behold, more criticism is coming.

Still time for feedback

But leaving all assumptions aside, Microsoft still has enough time to collect feedback and improve the Windows 10 icons before the big launch this summer, so if you don't like the pack that's part of build 10125, this is the right time to say it.

According to unconfirmed reports, Windows 10 should reach RTM late next month, before general availability that should take place in July or August.

The Windows Insider program will continue as well, so if the same icon pack that's included in build 10125 is delivered with Windows 10 RTM, maybe the company could change it in a future update based on consumer feedback.

But to figure out whether these icons are good or bad, nice or ugly, worthy of Windows 10 or not, we let you, our readers, tell us what you think. So use the comment box below to let us, Microsoft, and other readers know your opinion.
