However, the new change appears to be powerful, smart and appealing for users. You will now find a more simple background with aFluent Design touch.

The Redmond giant has not released newiconsfor Publisher and Access. According to Microsoft, the company aims to achieveharmony and simplicity with its light, bold and appealing colors.

Microsoft is reportedly currently working to release a new Fluent Design UI revamp for its entire range of products.

It seems like Microsoft is making significant efforts to revamp most of its applications including Office Suite.

Microsoft Officeis very popular among both MacOS and Windows users.

Although there are many otherthird-party office management software, users still prefer to useMicrosoft Office.

Most users loved theseiconsbut some of thempointed outsome visible inconsistencies.

Why would the music, video, and photo icon not match the document icon? Why would they choose just a rectangle for those three? That doesn’t make any sense to me.
