14 DAY TRIAL // Redstone is the next big update for Windows 10, and according to people familiar with Microsoft’s plans, it’s scheduled to debut in the summer with several major improvements, including browser extension support.
While Microsoft remains quite tight-lipped on Windows 10 Redstone, designers across the world are using the available details, most of them still in the rumor stage, to create their very own interpretations of the upcoming update.
And this is the case of this video concept posted on YouTube by AGVideos and envisioning several improvements that could be made to Windows 10 with the Redstone update.
File Explorer tabs, revamped Start screen and Start menu
Both the Start menu and the Start screen have been revamped in this concept with new visual effects on mouse hover, while the taskbar now has custom transparency level and a similar effect when moving the mouse cursor over any icon.
The action center has its very own brightness slider for a custom level (the current one in Windows 10 only allows users to choose between 4 preset levels), while File Explorer received one of the most requested features – tab support. A dark theme is also available for the file manager, which will pretty much get it in line with the other redesigned apps in Windows 10 that already have such a visual makeover.
Tablet mode has also been improved with a redesigned Start screen, a new look for Microsoft Edge browser that makes it more appropriate for touch use, plus updates to Task View for easier switch from one app to another when a mouse is not being used.
Certainly, there still are a few things to be improved in this concept, but Microsoft should really have a look at this video because after all, these are some of the most requested Windows 10 features which undoubtedly need to be part of the Redstone update.
Thanks for the tip, Gregory!
