The long sought-after visual overhaul that Windows 10 is about to go through will bring more fluidity and futuristic designs to the way that the OS currently looks.

We’re not only talking about more rounded edges for the windows, but also a floating design for the taskbar jump list menu. There’s further talk about a completely new look for theStartmenu.

More changes will apply to the icons we got so used to seeing inSHELL32.dll, many of them unchanged since Windows 95 was released.

The new dark mode that is also set to be released with the Sun Valley update is a big improvement and will surely be well-received by everyone.

The release date for this product hasn’t yet been specified, but we can expect it to drop later this year or early next year.

Here is a more in depth look on the new visual experience prepared by Windows.

All in all, it seems like Windows 10 is going to look very different in the near future. The new fluent and interactive designs planned by Microsoft will surely make the operating system more popular and loved by its users.
