Microsoft’s design language has evolved over the years with many changes that were dearly loved by fans and many that were very much disliked. This time, however, we’re talking about Windows 10 and it’s 1px border around the window edges.

You know what will be a groundbreaking feature of Fluent design? Removal of that 1px border around windows.

The 1px border around the window edges is by far the most hated element of Windows 10’s design. Mainly because a window is the most basic thing that makes Windows, Windows. And the worst thing about it is that it’s always there, everywhere.

Microsoft recently updated their documentation for NavigationView control and the new documentation shows off some screenshots of how the control works. Besides the control itself, the screenshot also features a beautiful drop shadow around the window and yes – without the 1px border. So, Microsoft has finally decided to drain the swamp – well, it seems.

We’re not sure whether is this an actual build of Windows or is it just a mere mock-up. But this was destined to happen at some point in time.

I think the most exciting part about Project NEON is the fact that they're finally getting rid of that ugly 1px border around windows

*”Project NEON” meaning Fluent Design System’s codename.

Microsoft had already shown off many mock-ups featuring the similar absence of 1px border before. In fact, in recent Redstone 5 builds, Microsoft has already gotten rid of the 1px border around the edges of many UWP controls such as context menus and dialogue boxes and was replaced with a drop-shadow instead. What do our readers? Is the wait is finally over?
