Windows 10 will usher in a new file explorer icon with rich colors and more touch-friendly

Microsoft is making a visual overhaul of Windows 10’s file explorer with a new icon. These icons can already be found in the beta version 21343 that just launched Windows 10, just open the file explorer, you can easily find the system icon changes, including the recycle bin, document folders and disk drives and other devices.

The icon update comes along with the fine adjustment of the file explorer’s layout. Microsoft will fill in extra space between the elements in the file explorer and will support a compact mode to return to the classic file explorer mode. The updated view pays more attention to touch optimization and complements the new icons.

“Several changes, such as the orientation of the folder icon and the default file type icon, have been changed to achieve greater consistency in Microsoft products that display files,” said Amanda Langowski, director of Microsoft’s Windows Insider. “It is worth noting that the top-level user folders such as desktop, documents, downloads, and pictures have adopted a new design, which should make it easier to distinguish them at a glance.”

Microsoft also pointed out, “Yes, the recycle bin icon has also been updated!”-The company tried to redraw the recycle bin icon in the past, but these changes were not approved by Windows users.

Of course, these icon changes are fairly minor in Windows’ grand development plan, but they are part of a broader effort within Microsoft to modernize Windows’ vision. The company updated some color versions of Windows 10 icons last year and adjusted the start menu to make it more streamlined.

Not only that, but Microsoft also plans to carry out a “comprehensive visual revival” of Windows, code-named “Sun Valley”. It is expected that in the next few months, as part of a special news topic, Microsoft will introduce its visual plan in detail and disclose more information about the future of Windows.
