cwayne986 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 if you sign up for "The Feedback Lab" there is a survey asking opinion on icons, you get to state what you like and dislike about each style...probably will be pretty interesting to what comes out of this considering so many people are very outspoken about the current look of the icons. https://www.thefeedbacklab.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwayne986 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Much much better than the garbage they've included in the latest builds exactly as I was thinking, better pc icon w/ thinner bezel, better drive icons, and the folder icons are way better than the flyout look ones..

cwayne986 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Is that image from Microsoft? Those look amazing! its from a survey done for Feedback Lab for Microsoft. titled "What do you think of these computer screens?" was about a windows 10 style and a vista/7 style with questions about thoughts on the icons, you could also highlight areas you disliked..which was pretty cool.

xpablo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 These have to be the ugliest icons I've ever seen. Hell they're so bad, I'm ready to switch to Mac OS computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1TechGuru Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Was unable to join the feedback group. The icons are hideous! Time to pull the intern away from MS Paint and hire a pro. T3X4S 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BajiRav Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Much much better than the garbage they've included in the latest builds They are indeed much much better but still not a fan of forced perspective and insane aliasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinMacLin Guy Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The new icons look much nicer; although the new folder icons stand out a bit because the content in the folders is coming out the opposite direction from which the other icons are tilted, which looks a bit jarring (personally prefer the Vista folder style, but that is just me). Sadly, I will be unable to communicate my impressions to MS because I was unable to get into this feedback program, but hopefully I will be able to do it once the new builds with the new icons roll out.

Xilo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 These icons are absolutely terrible. It reminds me of 3d versions of Windows 98 icons. T3X4S 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0nyX Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 These icons are a major improvement over the ones we've been seeing on recent leaks.I hope people participating on the evaluation are not retards so we don't end up with hideous icons.

The style is the same including the color scheme just slightly different, slightly less ugly. However, they are still really ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulagatha Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Is that image from Microsoft? Those look amazing! I still would like to see a version of what the desktop icons look like in the Flat style with file previews going down for the folders instead of left to right, but those isometric icons for the desktop are much nicer.

(Account no longer active) Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 image clipped from survey, pretty diff icons that are in leaked and released builds. I actually prefer the latest icons. They all match. Simple is the new modern: no gloss, no (or very minor) shading. Here they are again!: Say thanks in part to iOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techbeck Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Some of the icons are...ok. Not a big fan of the folder icons tho. Would be nice if there were a couple different colors to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, if you don't like them you can still use the universally hated recycle bin icon version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
