Microsoft Account Gets New Look With Fluent Design Update

Microsoft is refreshing the design for its web-based account management dashboard. The company previously showed off variants of the redesigned Account dashboard in concepts before, but it is finally rolling out the new design to Microsoft Account users.

The redesigned Account dashboard includes a big header section with all of your account’s important information, such as the number of devices you have, as well as your Microsoft Reward points. Everything else is listed afterwards in a grid-based UI where you can access the different settings for each item, such as your Microsoft Family settings, your subscriptions, devices, privacy settings, etc.

Microsoft still seems to be rolling out the redesigned Account dashboard. We have received multiple tips from readers with the new design, but I personally don’t have the new look as of yet. Either way, the new Account dashboard looks significantly better than the previous design, and it shouldn’t take too long to arrive for everyone.

Thanks for the tip, Andrew, Issac!

      <blockquote><a href="#262634"><em>In reply to SherlockHolmes:</em></a></blockquote><p>Perhaps in person, your sarcasm might have been funny, but in the comment section full of haters and trolls and whiners, these just comes off as unnecessary cynicism. Apologies, nothing personal. It's how I felt reading it. ?</p>

    <p>Only 161 Reward Points? I must be a total hoarder.</p>

    <p>I'm surprised that it's being pushed out since fluentweb.com had a bunch of components listed as in dev</p>

    <p>I wonder if there is a way to force the new look like there was with the Outlook Beta before they introduced the Beta toggle.</p><p><br></p><p>I don't have it yet, not that I visit the Account page but the change is pretty dramatic versus how disconnected things look now.</p>

    <p>It reminds me a bit of the Google account page. Anything that makes it easier to navigate a site is welcome.</p>

      <blockquote><a href="#262875"><em>In reply to LocalPCGuy:</em></a></blockquote><p>Yeah, I love it when we take the best of something and improve upon it. Material design and iOS7 design took inspiration from metro, and Fluient blends material with the type of transparency iOS uses, and adding the glow and reveal effects as innovation. This we, we move forward together and faster.</p>

    <p>I'd love for them to work on how to merge multiple accounts, rather than just redesign a webpage….</p>

    <p>Good. The previous version was confusing.</p>
