14 DAY TRIAL // Fluent Design is Microsoft’s big bet for the future of Windows 10 and several other products, as the company uses this new design language to give its portfolio a fresh and modern look and feel.
But on the other hand, it’s not a secret that implementing Fluent Design and completing the makeover in Windows 10 takes longer than anticipated, and users themselves have asked Microsoft to speed up the whole thing on several occasions.
The company, however, is clearly taking things gradually, and this is actually a pretty good approach, as this way Microsoft can make sure that everything is implemented just the way it’s supposed to be.
Fluent Design-based icons, for example, are a work-in-progress in Windows 10, and more recently, the company released a new look for a part of the icon set that you get in the operating system.
Enter fan-made Fluent Design icon pack
But because it takes so long for Microsoft to refresh all of its icons, someone on reddit has decided to put together both official icons and fan-made artwork in one large pack that helps provide Windows 10 with a truly modern look.
The icons, which include new designs for folders, Adobe software, Notepad, Office, PowerToys, Visual Studio, and other general apps in Windows 10, can be enabled in the operating system with dedicated software that allows such tweaks or manually using the built-in options and the registry.
As for when Microsoft is supposed to complete the Fluent Design makeover in Windows 10, an ETA can’t be offered, and it’s all because the design language is further enhanced with new improvements regularly. This is something that makes total sense, as such an approach allows Windows 10 to remain a fresh platform that always stays up-to-date with the latest concepts in terms of UI and UX.
