Microsoft revealed the future user interface of Office
Microsoft has opened the veil of secrecy over how the user interface and design of applications that will be part of the company’s corporate office suite will look in the future. Over the past two years, Microsoft Office has received many visual changes that simplify the process of interacting with office applications. Now it has become known that in the future Microsoft will continue to adhere to this principle, making Office even easier and more convenient.
“ The next wave of changes in Microsoft 365 UX will go further with the disappearance of brand colors from app titles and the introduction of responsive management. This will allow users to move the simplified toolbar within the workspace to where they think it will be most useful, ”said Jon Friedman, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of design and research.
In addition, according to available data, Microsoft will add support for adaptive commands in the future. Thus, the Ribbon UI will be replaced with a toolbar that can be dragged around the workspace. With its help, users will be able to perform different actions using context menus for this. Microsoft is currently only developing this interface, but some new design details may appear in Office within a year or two.
