Microsoft is rolling out its first Windows 11 app updates with new versions of the Calculator, Mail and Calendar, and the Snipping Tool apps.
"In Windows 11, both the classic Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch apps have been replaced by a new Snipping Tool app that represents the best experiences of both apps in the next evolution of screen capture for Windows," announced Microsoft in a new blog post.
The new features include a redesigned interface with icons that fit the Windows 11 new visuals, dark and light themes that match OS settings, and a new keyboard short that allows you to create new screenshots in Windows 11 quickly.
In addition to the new Snipping Tool, Microsoft has released new versions of the Calculator and Mail & Calendar apps.
Unlike the new Snipping Tool, the Calculator and Mail & Calendar apps do not have new features but are redesigned to use Windows 11 visuals, such as rounded corners, new icons, or style changes.
Like the Snipping Tool, the new Windows 11 versions of Calculator and Mail & Calendar will now honor your configured color theme and will automatically switch from dark and light mode to match it.
