Win10 Fluent Design: All the cool kids

Did you read the first line of the Reveal Focus Doc you have linked at the bottom?
Quote:
Reveal Focus is a lighting effect for 10-foot experiences, such as Xbox One and television screens.
Last I used an Xbox or TV screen it seemed quite a bit different than a pad/phone. ;)

I have heard of this before but never really bothered to look into it. However, you explanation has convinced me to explore it further :thumbsup: I suppose it would be too much to expect the service will automatically respond to any "click here to confirm email" links? That would be awesome. Although, if it becomes too popular, sites will just block mailinator domains I guess. EDIT: Looks like that site already blocks mailinator.com

Bummer, too bad they changed it. :sigh: I must've gotten in under the wire.

Reading this article (Introducing Fluent, Windows 10’s modern UI approach | InfoWorld[^]) I came upon this sentence.
article said:
One of Fluent’s nicer features is the Reveal tool that illuminates the borders around an object, showing quickly which screen elements allow interaction, lighting up as you mouse over or tab into an active field
That sentence seems completely out of place because it says "as you mouse over or tab" but those functions are completely gone when a person is using a pad/phone (touch device). But, Fluent Design has been driven by the fact that Microsoft is running toward pad/phone (touch devices) even though Microsoft doesn't have a phone and barely has a pad device. :confused: Microsoft Wants To Be The Cool Kid Too It's honestly as if Microsoft is just trying to be like the cool kids even though everyone knows they're not. Hey, Microsoft, just be Microsoft, ok? :rolleyes: And to further my rant, here's what microsoft says about their new design:
Microsoft docs*:
UWP helps by automatically adjusting UI elements so that they're legible and easy to interact with on all devices and screen sizes.
But that really isn't true. Things are too big on a desktop and take up too much space. Everything is targeted toward smaller touch devices. *Introduction to Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app design (Windows apps) - UWP app developer | Microsoft Docs[^] ** More info on Reveal : Reveal Focus - UWP app developer | Microsoft Docs[^]
A console window with auto-complete is what I think of when I hear "Fluent Design". :laugh:

Ubuntu: I loaded 16.04 on my Intel Nuc (it was the Intel Certified version). It, too, seems to be trending more and more into a cell-phone look-and-feel. I'm not using it on an [mastadon] ing cell phone.
I don't even like the "modern" cell phone look on my cell phone... all I want is a phone, messages and a few other apps: whatsapp (free msg via wifi on travel), ridewithgps to keep myself honest and occasionally skype.) fur sure I don't need a friggin christmas tree. side comment 1: try lubuntu (minimal ubuntu, still traditional type window mgr) side comment 2: ridewithgps is like strava without the in-your-face social media shite.

My cellphone is a flip-phone. I do not make or accept text's, either. As I explain it, I own my phone and not the other way around. ridewthgps seems like (when I googled it) a cellfauxn application - not relevant in my current reality. If/when I reload the system (more like when), I'll possibly just try another flavor of Linux, altogether. Either something very straight and raw or something focused on why I mainly got the NUC (a super flexible adaptable media box), so maybe Mint. Whatever it is, I'll shop more carefully, noting that the images of the interface are telling me more than just how pretty it looks. I already used it (as in VLC) to watch a video that was unaccountably rejected by my patriot media player.

Black Friday. It's the only reason I have an Xbox at all. The Xbox S, specifically. While it can't play *games* at 4K, it does come with a 4K Blu-ray player. I made the CAD$230 purchase when standalone UHD players were still close to that price. The way I saw it, I bought a UHD player and got a console thrown in as a bonus.

Maybe they just copy pasted that from the apple dev website and forgot to change that part...fluent whatever nevermind...
