Mouse over the maximize button in any open window, and you'll see a bunch of boxes of various shapes and sizes. Notepad has a modern interface as well, though it is functionally the same as before. Though the shell menu's options are different, it is missing quite a few shortcuts, but you can access them through the legacy menu that pops-up when you click the "Show More Options". The right-click menu has also been changed, and has rounded corners, just like all the other menus in the OS. Windows 11' built-in file manager has been overhauled, not only is the design new, the icons have been refreshed as well. Unlike Windows 10's app, the Widgets in Windows 11 has a frosted glass background. It's a handy tool for keeping an eye on weather updates, the stock market, sports fixtures, and to perform web searches. It's a personalized news feed that's tied to your Microsoft account, you may customize it to your liking by adding new widgets, opting out of specific websites. Windows 10 users who have used the News and Weather app (from the Taskbar), will be familiar with the Widgets panel.
The options in it remain the same for the most part, and don't worry the legacy Control Panel is still there, for those who prefer it. The Settings app has been overhauled, it looks better and is somewhat faster too. The icons in the interface are neat, and the shortcuts are customizable, so if you don't like an option you can unpin it. This is also noticeable in the new Quick Toggles panel that appears when you click on one of the system tray icons. The menus in Windows 11 have rounded corners, something which you will see commonly across the OS. Windows 11 has new animations for the Taskbar icons, when a program needs your attention its icon will flash briefly to notify you. All it has is a shortcut to change the Taskbar options, so those of you who used the right-click menu to access other options, including the Task Manager, are going to be a bit disappointed. The Taskbar menu is, sadly, very limited. The other section, Recommended apps, is sort of your recently used items. Click the all apps button to view the list of apps installed on your computer. The first panel lists a bunch of Apps, these are basically shortcuts that have been pinned to the Start Menu, you can unpin them or add new ones as required. Speaking of which, the Start Menu has been changed again, this time it's a little more compact and divided into 2 sections. It has shortcuts for the Task View and Search, the latter is sort of pointless considering you can use the Start Menu for searches.
The Start Menu has changed and it looks drastically different. You may optionally align the icons to the left-hand side of the screen, if you don't like the macOS inspired view. This is the most obvious change you will notice, Windows 11 has a centered Taskbar. Let's take a tour of Windows 11, and see what's new in it with this list of the best new features available.
