You will soon know more about what your PC lockscreen is showing you
Microsoft is working on new looks for the Windows Spotlight feature and redesigns for the graphics settings page as part of its latest Windows 11 Preview build.
At the same time, the company is introducing tabs in the Windows Notepad tool to developers in its Windows Insider Dev Channel group.
Microsoft uses the Windows Insider program to get feedback from developers and license holders who get pre-release builds of the operating systems to test.
The latest Windows 11 Preview Build, 25281, puts a focus on the Spotlight function – the rotating photos that are downloaded from Bing and displayed when the screen is locked on the system – with the goal of delivering more information on what is in the picture.
The different options will continue to include such features as the ability for the user to hover over the icon on the desktop as well as right-clicking and double-clicking on it to get information about what they’re seeing.
« The treatments for Spotlight will include richer UI around displaying the title and description and learning more information about the image displayed on your desktop via Spotlight, » Amanda Langowski, principal product manager for the Windows Insider Program, and Brandon LeBlanc, senior program manager at Microsoft, wrote in a blog post this month.
