In the Summer of 1972 the eyes of the world were fixed on Munich and a truly historic Olympic Games. The West Germans were desperate to lay the ghost of Berlin 1936, the tournament hijacked by Adolf Hitler. So this would be Die Heiteren Spiele – “the cheerful Games” – with a sunny logo and Waldi the dachshund mascot. And, thanks to new satellite technology, sporting fans across the globe could enjoy the sports fest live. But on September 5, 900 million watched these Games hijacked by evil too, and history written in blood, not the sweat and tears of sporting glory. Eight heavily armed terrorists from Palestinian group Black September broke into apartments in the Olympic village taking 11 Israelis hostage. The subsequent siege and bungled rescue bid left all the Israelis dead, along with five Palestinians and a German police officer.

Microsoft introduced Windows 11 with a different design approach and a more app-like interface for the ease of smartphone users. But a new report suggests that the company could be about to change the way the shutdown dialog box looks on the operating system. It seems that in the future Windows 11 builds users will be seeing a new-look shutdown menu in the dialog box. This dialog box usually appears when you press the shortcut Alt + F4 on your keyboard. As per the report, the design of the dialog box does not change dramatically, but you would notice the font style and the interface tweaked to match the design elements of the Windows 11 OS. Microsoft has developed new WinUI elements like Mica which we have seen on the Windows app title bar and a few other places. It is fair to that the new changes are not big but it is part of Microsoft’s design evolution that is going to continue in the near future. And making these small changes will help in making the transition seamlessly. … [Read more...] about Microsoft Wants To Make Some Changes To The Shutdown Dialog Box On Windows 11
