Introducing Fluent Design System: The Windows UI Structure Microsoft Desperately Needs

Introducing a new design system for the next wave of creativity across Windows devices. Fluent Design will deliver intuitive, harmonious, responsive and inclusive cross-device experiences and interactions.


One of the most exciting things Microsoft announced at Build 2017 was the Fluent Design System (formerly codenamed Project Neon). Not because of the name, which is a bit clumsy, but rather the theory underlying Fluent Design.

With Fluent Design System, we are unlocking everyone's creativity by enabling immersive and multi-dimensional experiences that adapt and respond to multiple device and input types.

This is "the era of ubiquitous computing," but also a renaissance in digital creativity. To put the burden on the developer to create unique apps for each of those device types would hinder their adoption and expansion. With the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), and now Fluent Design, developers can create apps with a beautiful design for all device types.
