Microsoft is now rolling out redesigned hardware indicator flyouts that align with Windows 11's design to all Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.
"We have updated the flyout design for the hardware indicators for brightness, volume, camera privacy, camera on/off and airplane mode, to align with Windows 11 design principles," Microsoft's Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc said.
The Windows Insider team added that the volume and brightness indicators are still interactive after installing the new dev release, Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22533.
This week, Microsoft is also starting to roll out a new Your Phone calls experience to all Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel featuring updated visuals, including new icons and fonts.
Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22533 also includes multiple fixes for driver or firmware update errors, app sign-in issues, photo import problems, and Windows Explorer crashes.
Microsoft also rolled out a wholly redesigned Notepad for Windows 11 last month, a design that was first teased in June 2020 in screenshots shared before the official launch to show off changes to native apps' interface.
