It's ready! 🎉 Dynamic Theme app UI redesigned to match Windows 11 design language! Also available for Windows 10 users with some differences to keep a good integration. Version 1.6.32 will be available for the Preview users in a few hours! #Windows11 #Windows #UWP

@pavandavuluri @MSFTnews I hope Insiders will be able again to tests features before release to stable users. It’s no more the case with Control Rollout Feature technology and less attractive. As Insiders, I want to be able to test and send feedbacks on new features 😉

[Pavan Davuluri @pavandavuluri]

The team and I have spent the past several months analyzing feedback from the community. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better. Read this blog post to learn more about what we're doing in response as we look to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality. Please keep the feedback coming, to help us shape the future of Windows together. https://t.co/dzYYGc2SIp

And in my dreams, this type of personalization needs to be managed by the system itself for more coherence between all the apps.

.@mkristensen Why the last VS Preview go back to fat scrollbars in code editor & output window? I preferred the slim (when not mouse hover) scrollbar like the solution explorer. If you got some negative feedback, why does not implement a setting & let the users choosing?

@SergioPedri Thank you Sergio 🙂

@Chris123NT @karthikponna19 bright text on a dark background can appear to bleed into the dark background, especially with smaller fonts or when pupils are dilated in low light. For those with astigmatism, a regular light theme with reduced brightness is often more comfortable.

[Christophe Lavalle @ChristopheLav]

@Chris123NT @karthikponna19 Me because: dark mode can be difficult for people with astigmatism because it can cause "halation," a halo-like blur around text, making it harder to read than a traditional light theme. This is because the eye's irregular shape focuses light at multiple points, and…

@NorthFaceHiker if you can help to pass the feedback to the new people responsible to the program :-)

Thank you for all your hard work from the past decade for the Insiders program ☺️

[Christophe Lavalle @ChristopheLav]

.@windowsinsider @Windows What's happening with the Insider program? Very stange & bad to see new Start menu available for stable users (or begin to be rollout) but not available for Insiders users. If you aren't confident to release to all Insiders, it's not ready.

[Christophe Lavalle @ChristopheLav]

Maybe it's time to close the Insiders program if you don't want anymore to have testers. It's not what I want on my side, but in this current state I think you can close the door. Not be able to test new features before rollout is the cross red line.

[Christophe Lavalle @ChristopheLav]

@windowsinsider what is the goal to gradual rollout new features like Start Menu into Stable when the Insiders have no access to the new features? I think the rollout in production needs to start after Insiders (dev) got the features! I'm not liking where the Insiders program are

[Christophe Lavalle @ChristopheLav]

@windowsinsider You have removed the know issue related to Visual Studio crash on the last Dev build - I have KB5064402 installed but I continue to have the crash. I need to restart very often to temporary fix the issue. Another fix is incoming ? In this state, this is unusable.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

GitHub feels like a product that isn't used by the people that work there. That can't POSSIBLY be true, I know. I just hit issues everyday that really make me wonder... how can this bug exist? More likely engineers aren't empowered to fix things and are bogged down by red tape.
