So.. they went from 3d... then flat... now isometric?

Regressive UI design 101.

[SnoopZ]

Do you guys like it?

[Noir Angel]

I think the idiot that started the flat and ugly UI trend should die in a horribly painful fire. I don't know why Microsoft feel they have had to go for it so full bloodedly.

[freak180]

complainers will always complain. We already new the icons were gona be angled that way. Be grateful they look nicer

[Jackaluichi]

I'm more interested in other things, but the new icons are nice in my humble opinion.

[SnoopZ]

I hope i get to see the full set soon, and if i really like them like i think i will that they stick with them as they look pretty nice to me.

I actually like the isometric look... but then I still love the old Isometric RPG's and SimCity 2000/3000/4 

 

sometimes I feel like the whole flat thing was because MS lost their graphic design company working for them and someone in MS said "hey I have MS Paint I can do it!"

The thing is, the Vista icons were so good that whatever they put out it's going to be difficult to convince users it's a change for the better. I'm quite unconvinced. Seems like the icons will harder to recognize when they're not huge as in the screenshot. Don't know why they use such a pronounced angle.

I find the Vista icons to be extremely ugly and, well, old. Usually one of the first things I do after a reformat is change all the default icons.

 

While these new ones aren't the most aesthetically pleasing things in the world they could be a lot worse.

Interesting.. I thought the vista icons looked very clean and crisp.  Nice modern shading/transparency and coloring effects.  Really a to each their own sort of deal.

For one, it's not a matter of complaining. For pure desktop work, Windows 10 is going to be great. The stability seems to be there and win32/64 programs for work just fly nice. Once the AMD drivers are fixed, which I am sure they will be, this will be a great platform for desktop only. Which only leaves eye sore icons for me.  Other users who rely on touch or MS apps, well, I see a lot of issues and they will be more important to you. So, yes, icons are not a big deal and will be dealt with and it is not...complaining for the sake of complaining, if you know the context...

Was just about to post the same image, I think they look awesome and very professional and hope Windows 10 ends up with them in RTM.

[freak180]

i love the new folder icons!

i guess ugly wasn't the right word to use. Just after so many years of looking at them I'd rather have something different.

[SnoopZ]

The w32 icons are now fixed in the start menu of this build.

I like the color scheme, but the isometric style seems out of place to me.

I got this but I'm still unable to open Spartan.

[deni88]

windows 9 didnt make much wave like the 8 or 10 version.

it will look better once they put the isometric start menu and iso-chromes in
