The Windows 11 beta build adds a new UI effect, and people already hate it
Whenever Microsoft introduces changes to Windows 11, the response is often a mixed bag of enthusiasm and criticism. This latest update, which enhances the touchscreen graphics, has sparked a lively debate among users. While some embrace the new features, others express dissatisfaction, suggesting that the update may not resonate as intended.
Touchscreen Graphics Update: A Mixed Reception
The recent beta update for Windows 11 has introduced a novel touchscreen effect, where a trail of bubbles follows the user’s finger movement. This design choice has not gone unnoticed, as users took to social media to voice their opinions. One user, Zac Bowden, shared their experience with the new feature, prompting a flurry of reactions.
Feedback has largely leaned towards the negative, with comments likening the effect to “defect monitor ghosting.” Many users expressed a preference for the previous design, while others simply conveyed their discontent with a thumbs-down emoji. However, not all responses were critical; a few users defended the new look, appreciating its aesthetic appeal.
In light of the divided opinions, there is a growing sentiment that Microsoft should consider allowing users the option to revert to the old touch input visuals. Flexibility in design choices can enhance user satisfaction, allowing individuals to tailor their experience according to personal preferences. The introduction of new features is commendable, but the ability to return to familiar settings can mitigate frustration among users.
As discussions around the update unfold, some users have raised concerns about the overall trajectory of Windows 11. While the operating system has introduced several innovative features, there remains a sense of unease regarding its evolution. Observations from various users suggest that certain aspects of Windows 11 may not be improving, leading to a collective questioning of its future direction.
