Additions:

  • Search Bar Reintroduced
    The search bar has been reintroduced with significant functional and visual improvements. See the attached screenshots for a preview of the updated experience.

  • New Taskbar Search Modes:
    Search now offers multiple taskbar display modes: Icon only, Icon and search bar, and Expand on hover. These options allow Search to remain compact or expand into a full search field based on the selected taskbar behavior.

  • Interactive Taskbar Search Field
    Users can now type directly into the expanded taskbar Search field. Text is synchronized with the Search overlay, allowing results to update from the taskbar without requiring input in the overlay first.

  • New Accent Color Previews
    Manual accent color options now use miniature WebWindows-style preview tiles instead of basic color circles. Each tile demonstrates how the selected accent color will appear across the interface.

  • New Glass Surface Previews
    Glass surface colors now include dedicated material previews that display the selected tint on miniature translucent window and taskbar surfaces.

  • Custom Color Preview Tiles
    The custom accent and glass color pickers now match the preview design used for preset colors. A subtle plus badge identifies each custom picker while maintaining visual consistency with the surrounding tiles.

  • New Sidebar Indicators
    The sidebar indicators have been enhanced to dynamically adapt and transition according to the currently selected option.

  • New settings sidebar (Addition)
    Integrated Icons8 into the settings sidebar to ensure visual consistency across the new UI logic.

Changes

  • New settings sidebar (Change)
    Taskbar behaviors have been relocated from their previous sub-menu to the main Personalization page for easier access and improved navigation.

  • Redesigned Colors and Transparency Interface
    The Colors and transparency effects page has been redesigned to align more closely with the Windows Settings application. It now follows the established spacing, typography, surface, icon, border, and control styles used throughout Settings.

  • Visual Effects Integration
    Visual effects have been integrated into the Colors and transparency effects page. Window drop shadows and HDR Lighting now appear alongside color, glass, and transparency controls rather than on a separate personalization page.

  • Personalization Layout Refinements:
    The Colors, Transparency & materials, & Visual effects sections have been reorganized into a cleaner hierarchy. Controls have
    more intentional separation while still fitting the established Settings design instead of appearing as an isolated or separate UI style.

  • Personalization Layout Refinements
    The Colors, Transparency and materials, and Visual effects sections have been reorganized into a clearer hierarchy. Controls now have more intentional separation while remaining consistent with the established Settings design.

  • Calendar Layout Refinements
    The calendar interface has been updated to align with the new Avlaora/WebWindows aesthetic, creating a more cohesive and modern user experience.

Work In Progress

Windows Defender remains under development.

The complete Windows Defender security system—including planned file protection, update security, privacy protection, and other security capabilities—is not yet available as a finished feature in this build.

Taskbar Search behavior, personalization previews, animations, Settings layouts, language translations, and other 9H09 features may also be refined in future builds.
