Redmond’s preparing new visual tweaks for Windows 10

Microsoft is expected to release new Windows 10 builds for Windows Insiders anytime soon, but as usual, the company doesn’t provide any timing information to make sure that no missed deadlines happen in case it comes across bugs that need more work.

In the meantime, however, screenshots revealing new builds reach the web, and today we have the first look at Windows 10 build 10537.

Microsoft-News has posted screenshots showing an unreleased version of Windows 10 that includes several UI tweaks, among which new icons and animations for Windows Store apps. The latest build released to insiders was 10532, so the leaked screenshots are coming from a build that’s not really new, but which already includes many visual improvements.

As we’ve already told you, Microsoft is working to bring animations for opening and closing Windows store apps, so build 10537 is the first one expected to introduce them.

New Windows 10 icons

Additionally, it seems that Microsoft still has nightmares about Windows 10 icons, as the company previously had to deal with criticism coming from users who installed early versions of the operating system, which included a testing icon pack.

Since this criticism first occurred, Microsoft has tried to improve the UI of its Windows 10 icons with several new builds, and it turns out that all these efforts continue in the post-RTM era.

Right now, there’s no indication that build 10537 is the next one to be released to insiders, but chances are that it’s not, as Microsoft has most likely already compiled new builds and is testing them internally.

As far as the release date of a new build is concerned, there’s no information available for the moment, as Microsoft always says that this is expected to happen soon. The focus is now on Windows 10 Mobile builds, so expect more versions developed to be installed on smartphones to launch in the coming weeks ahead of its debut in mid-October.
