微软探索 Windows 11 关机对话框和恢复环境的设计调整

We've heard a lot about WinUI on Windows 11 and how it will ultimately revolutionize many aspects of the existing operating system's user interface. Some job listings indicate that WinUI will lead to the development of new parts of the Windows user experience and the modernization of existing parts.

Windows is getting a major redesign, which officially launched last year. The plan is to bring WinUI elements to the oldest legacy part of Windows. As part of the redesign, Microsoft updated the old context menu with rounded corners and even a dark mode.

In Windows 11 Build 25115, Microsoft is now exploring a slightly updated interface for the famous Alt F4 dialog box. The revamp ditches the traditional Windows logo for a cleaner look that resembles Windows 95-era dialog boxes.

New UI for Shutdown Dialog

For those who don’t know, the current Shutdown dialog interface is the same one we have on Windows 10. It does feature the new Windows 11 logo and rounded edges, but it doesn't support the "modern" WinUI design.

It looks like Microsoft is preparing to add more WinUI elements like Mica to the operating system's shutdown dialog. Currently, Mica is only available for the title bar of Windows applications, and Fluent Design, which can more or less be considered a ubiquitous theme for the new operating system, is also missing.

These changes are not huge, but they set the stage for future improvements, and they are really necessary for design consistency.

New icons for WinRE

In addition to the Shutdown dialog box, Microsoft is also testing WinUI and Fluent Design icons for WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment).

The Windows 8-era WinRE interface present in the operating system now has new icons, and more changes may need to be made, as keep in mind that Windows 11 Build 25115 is still an early working build for next year's major release.

Again, this isn't a big change, but changes to a long-standing legacy part of the operating system could lead to a more consistent design across the platform.

In the original version of Windows 11, the Control Panel also received UI improvements, including rounded corners and new icons, which may be considered a good move, but we still hope that the company will one day completely abandon it Legacy areas like the control panel won't cause trouble for users.

It’s worth noting that Microsoft is exploring design tweaks in the Windows 11 Dev Channel and there’s no guarantee these changes will ship with version 23H2.
