Microsoft is continuing its cleanup work on Windows 11, which has been dragging on since the Windows 10 update, and is now trying to bring a little more order to the highly fragmented Settings and Control Panel and to unify the extremely inconsistent design. The operating system will therefore receive a new color management system in the future, which will no longer use the “outdated” design language of Windows 7.
Source: Microsoft Like Microsoft via the short message service X – formerly Twitter – announced, the new Windows Insider Previews (“Build 26052”) in the “Dev” and “Canary” channels will be the first to be rolled out with the new color management, which will be rolled out later via Settings ➜ System ➜ Screen will also be found in the stable versions of the operating system. The outdated color management, which still uses the design that has been carried along since Windows 7, is currently still available Control Panel ➜ Color management to find. But it will be removed there because Microsoft is trying to restore all settings under Settings to bundle.
Windows should finally look consistent
Since Windows 11 still carries design elements, dialogs and icons with it, which – especially when it comes to icons – go back to the long-gone days of Windows 3.x, Windows 9x and Windows XP, the Redmond company is also trying in this regard finally tidy up and give the operating system a consistent appearance. The new color management therefore already uses the new design language.
