Microsoft continues their work on updating icons for built-in Windows 10 apps.. All the icons are following the modern Fluent Design. Today, a new calculator icon has been revealed.
As we now know, these colorful icons are designed for Windows 10X, a special edition of the OS for Surface Neo. Surface Neo is Microsoft's very own foldable PC, which comes with a detachable keyboard, Surface Slim Pen inking. It will run Windows 10X. It will feature two 9” screens connected by a 360° hinge.
Windows 10X includes some advancements in the core technology of Windows that optimize it for flexible postures and more mobile use. We needed to deliver battery life that could drive not just one, but two screens. We wanted the operating system to be able to manage the battery effect of our huge catalog of Windows apps, whether they were written in the last month or five years ago. And we wanted to deliver the hardware performance and compatibility our customers expect from Windows 10.
Windows 10X will be able to run legacy Win32 applications in a container. Windows Containers isolate software from the host file system. All the file and registry changes required to run an application are packaged into Container Images. It is not clear yet if the Container technology for run Desktop apps will be using Windows Server (shared kernel) or Hyper-V VM containers but since client OSes like Windows 10 only have Hyper-V containers, it is possibly that.
For this new Windows 10 edition, Microsoft is preparing a set of new colorful icons. All the known icons are below.

Not too bad, in a few years from now it might even reach the level of an average Android launcher.
hahaha :-D
Honestly, as long as they stay with this design and stay clear of “framed icons” it’ll look far better than anything on Android or iOS. I personally really hate those Icon Backgrounds/Frames/Adaptive Icons or whatever they call them on mobile phones these days.
looks more and more like… linux!
Oh for [censored] sake THANK YOU!! Finally someone who post the icons in a usable format instead of a low quality jpeg sprite!
Finally I can customize my phone with these icons, way better than Android one IMO. Thanks again!
You are most welcome
The designs to put it mildly are very childish. Or in true context a load of blue crap.
