Rounded Corners
Windows 11 has modernized the visual experience by providing rounded corners to windows as well as other UI controls like buttons and menus. Depending on the size and current placement of the UI controls, different level of roundness is used to create a soft and sophisticated effect on UI that looks pleasant to the user and at the same time enhances the ease of use.
Light and Dard Color Modes
Windows 11 provide a beautiful blend of light and dark modes by defining a visual hierarchy to help users focus on their tasks. Each mode includes a group of colors that look calm and enhance the user interaction on the UI. Visual hierarchy is enabled by indicating the background elements that are not in focus at the moment using dark colors. Whereas the currently focused task and the surface are highlighted in a light color, thus making it more prominent on the UI.
Acrylic, Mica and Smoke Materials
To provide an amazing and awesome visual effects, Windows 11 has used three types of materials in the UI. Acrylic is used to highlight transient surfaces on the background like flyouts and menus. Mica is used in surfaces that are tinted with the desktop background. Smoke is used to dim the background UI elements when a modal dialog is opened on the top.
Modern Icons
Windows 11 icons are more simple and meaningful in design. Everywhere in the UI, new icons are giving an appealing and attractive look to the user.

To provide a fresh content look, Windows 11 is using Segeo UI variable as the system font. Different sizes and weights are defined as per the placement of textual content on the UI to provide a balanced visual look.
