[Proposal][Appearance] Update folder Icons in Microsoft Edge Favorites Bar #775

Open Pedro-Estevao opened 4 months ago

Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on the continuous work to improve the user experience with the browser. Recently, I had the opportunity to test the new minimalist theme of Windows 11, which brought a sense of modernity and simplicity to Microsoft Edge.

However, I would like to express an observation regarding the visual discrepancy of the folder icons in the favorites bar, not only in relation to the new Windows 11 theme but also to the standard theme, which ends up breaking the overall visual flow and harmony of the browser.

Inspired by the new minimalist aesthetic, I took the liberty of editing an image in Photoshop, replacing the folder icons with a modified version of the Edge icon itself, aligned with the new visual. The result was a more cohesive and integrated appearance, which I believe contributes to a more pleasant and consistent user experience.

I encourage the team to consider an update to the folder icons to reflect the new minimalist theme. This would not only help maintain the aesthetic coherence of the browser but also demonstrate a continuous commitment to visual excellence and functionality.

Thank you for your attention to this feedback, and I look forward to seeing possible improvements in Microsoft Edge.
