Yeah that's not bad looking at all. What happened to UI styling and the theming engine in 8 was a travesty. It was so ugly and because the theming engine had been gutted, the user couldn't even fix it with third party visual styles.

That's maybe 11's single saving grace: it course corrected and Fluent actually looks pretty good. If only the rest weren't awful.



Windows 11 is inoffensive where Windows 8 was ugly. But Windows 8's visual style was more functional. Windows had borders. Menus and dialogs had contrast and shadows. The focused window was obvious.
