Windows 11's file operation (copy, access denied, etc.) dialogs are FINALLY getting support for dark mode! Here's how the dialogs look in dark mode at this point, hidden in build 26100.5061. Also notice the light buttons in the top right, still a work in progress of course.

File Explorer Home will soon show a few extra buttons for files that are hovered over or selected in recent/favorites/shared - open file location, ask Copilot, and a more actions (3 dots) button that just opens the context menu.

First look at an upcoming Snipping Tool feature: Live Annotation, which will let you draw on screen in real time. Also includes options to share, do a visual search with Bing and ask Copilot. A lot of options in this early UI, including those, don't work yet.

To enable these animations, which have started to roll out to Dev/Beta in .5751 (KB5064071), enable feature ID 56848060.

The ability to pin apps in the share using section of the Windows Share sheet has started to quietly roll out to Dev/Beta Insiders. If you want to get it on your install, enable feature ID 55844454.

Checked Reddit and I'm surprised that this time, the posts I saw weren't full of stupidity strong enough to make me lose a brain cell.
