On July 1, 2020, Microsoft released the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20161 for Insider in the Developer Channel. The Dev Channel is used to test builds from the developer labs that no longer targeted a specific Windows 10 branch. The announcement was made in the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windowsexperience\/2020\/07\/01\/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-20161\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Windows Blog<\/a>, where references to these builds can be found. <\/p>\n<h2>Changes in Start Menu<\/h2>\n<p>What might be interesting is coming as 'Theme-aware tiles in Start'. The developers are refreshing the start menu with a more streamlined design. This involves removing the monochrome backgrounds behind the logos in the apps list and applying a uniform, partially transparent background to the tiles. The whole thing can be seen in the following GIF.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220518102721\/https:\/\/46c4ts1tskv22sdav81j9c69-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/prod\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/dabfa329dfacdc1a2669002649ed75d6.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Before and After: Windows 10 Start menu in dark theme.\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220518102721\/https:\/\/46c4ts1tskv22sdav81j9c69-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/prod\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/dabfa329dfacdc1a2669002649ed75d6.gif\" width=\"604\" height=\"453\"><\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>This changed design of the start menu is supposed to look great in both dark and light design. First, make sure you enable dark mode as a Windows theme, and then, under Settings &gt; Personalization &gt; Color, enable the \"Show accent color on the following surfaces\" option for Start, Taskbar, and Action Center to elegantly apply your accent color to the Start menu frame and tiles.
