Sun Valley Concepts #1 by Interforge on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Hey guys! I really didn't think I'd wind up doing two submissions in one week, but here we are! I decided to do something different with this submission, rather than an Icon, is a Concept. This concept marks the start of a project I'll be working on that I've called Sun Valley Concepts. In this project, I'll be redesigning different Windows 10 elements to better fit the aesthetic of this year's Sun Valley update.

In this concept, I decided to focus on the core of Windows 10 - the Taskbar. Everyone uses it, but not everyone likes it. So, I figured why not make the best of both worlds, the Classic style of Windows 10, and the Modern style of Windows 10X, combined to make two unique taskbars.

Classic Theme //

The first of these I've called the 'Classic theme' as it features a more traditional layout and alignment, as well as separated flyouts and Action Center.

Modern Theme //

The second of these I, very unoriginally, called the 'Modern theme', which features the centred experience provided by Windows 10X, with combined flyouts and Action Center. Unlike Windows 10X, however, the Modern theme features the search box, which dynamically expands when clicked on, so it stays out of the way until needed.
