First thing I noticed was the new, purposeful color background to my workspace bar, which was formerly the same color as the rest of the window background, blended in seamessly, and was JUST FINE the way it was. I mean, I never gave it a single thought until today. I said to myself, "Well, that's a choice", but I plodded on.
Next thing, my tab highlight color is now BRIGHT RED. Are you kidding me? ARE YOU KIDDING ME. No, Microsoft is not.
And of course, an ongoing issue remains, the huge flyout infolabels that can't be suppressed and flit back and forth between the left edge of the vertical tabs pane and the right edge, sometimes appearing simultaneously with the traditional small tooltips. This isn't useful. This is distracting and stress-inducing when you move over the tabs at normal speed, as I do toward the end of the video.
Does Microsoft have a department whose mission statement is, "What can we do to make things worse this week?" Because garbage like this makes me really curious.
I've been through Edge://flags and Settings and found nothing that affects any of this. I restarted Edge, and that didn't help. Any suggestions?
