Windows 11 Look Inspired by KDE Plasma and GNOME?
======
The images of the upcoming Windows 11 Operating system from Microsoft
resemble a mixture of our beloved KDE Plasma and GNOME. How much they
are similar? We try to find out.
Theres a saying which I remember _Good artists copy. Great artists steal_. I dont know the design team behind Windows 11, but it seems they are pretty good inspired by the Linux desktops. If you look at the Windows OS look over the years from Windows XP to 7 to 10 there is not much changed in terms of look and feel. Until now.
Windows OS have typically 5 to 7 years of life iterations with a new release. If you think about the options of customization Windows gives you, that remained the same over the years. Even the overall desktop experience in terms of Start Menu position, width, color all remained constant.
But with the new look of Windows 11 this is changing. Let me walk you through some of the screenshots I had a look at and how cunningly it is similar to the popular Linux [desktop environments][1] such as KDE Plasma and GNOME.
### Windows 11 Look Inspired by KDE Plasma and GNOME?
#### Start Menu and Taskbar
The traditional Start Menu and Taskbar theme changed in Windows 11. The Start menu and Taskbar icons are at the center of the taskbar (default view). It also gives you the option to move the taskbar icons and Start menu to the left via settings.
![Windows 11 Start menu in light mode][2]
The overall approach and default color with icons remind me of the KDE Plasma taskbar and Launcher. The icons are polished and centered gives you a feel of Adwaita icons of GNOME while the taskbar looks like from KDE Plasma.
When you open the start menu, it gives you a different arrangement of the icons and options. Also, a search option at the top pops up when you start to type.
Now, look at the newly designed KDE Plasma launcher. I know, the spacing, the size of the icons, and sharpness are not the same. But you can see how they look surprisingly similar.
![KDE Plasma 5.22 Launcher in Light mode][3]
If you are using GNOME or Xfce desktop with a little tweak of the [Arc menu][4], you can actually have them look exactly similar.
![Modified Arc Menu][5]
#### Window Decorations
Traditionally GNOME always had rounded corners for the standard window decorations. And in compared to that Windows always had sharp corners in windows like forever until now. Well, with Windows 11, all the window decorations have rounded corners which looks good. The rounded corners concept is not a copyrighted design or new idea. Hence the question arises, why decide to go all rounded corner now? Is there any hidden purpose?
![Rounded Corners in Windows Explorer and Nautilus][6]
Oh, remember the application grid menu indicator in GNOME? The small dots tells you that how many pages of applications are there. It seems also to make its way to Windows 11 as well.
![Dots in paging][7]
#### Color Palette
Windows always had a “blue” based theme or any blue variant over the years. Although use has options to change the accent color of the taskbar, start menu background, and window title bars. But with that option, the color palette seems drastically changed with light and dark mode combination to give a more polished and eye-candy look to the Windows desktop. Probably another avenue of inspiration of nice color palette of Ubuntu, KDE, and other flavors.

#### Dark Mode
Windows 11 officially support dark mode/ or dark theme for the first time. Well, I will just leave it here with the below two screenshots. The left one is a dark mode of the Windows 11 start menu and the right one is the KDE Plasma with Breeze dark theme.
![Comparison of Windows 11 Start Menu and KDE Plasma][9]
#### New Desktop Widgets
Inspiration never stops it seems. Remember KDE Plasmas widgets? Well, it is not a new concept, but it lands in Windows 11. Heres a screenshot of the new widgets drawer. You can add, remove and scroll items here.
![Widgets menu][10]
These are just some of the items which caught my eye. Maybe there are more “inspirations” that “inspired” Windows 11 looks.
But the question is why this is the perfect time to introduce all of these features and looks at once?
### Closing Notes
Honestly, when I first looked at them, it reminds me of KDE Plasma with Breeze theme in Dark mode. And with very few tweaks, you can make it look like Windows 11. That itself says about how they are similar in looks.
If you look at the entire desktop operating system landscape the only players are Windows, Linux Desktops, and macOS. And until now, they all had a distinct signature in their looks. For example, macOS has its own different look which stands out from everyone else. Until now, Windows also had the same the usual Start menu with the blue theme, etc. But with these new changes, Windows gives users the most customization options and closer to the Linux Desktop looks.
In my personal opinion, the Windows team should have come up with a different signature look than just being “inspired” by our beloved Linux Desktops.
I am not sure what the future holds, but it seems the “E-E-E” is in the works with full force.
Cheers.

Windows 11 的外观受到了 KDE Plasma 和 GNOME 的启发?
======
> 微软即将发布的 Windows 11 操作系统的图像与我们所心爱的 KDE Plasma 和 GNOME 有许多相似之处。它们到底有多相似呢?我们试着比较了一下。
我曾记得一句俗话 —— _Good artists copy. Great artists steal_。我不知道 Windows 11 背后的设计团队,但他们似乎很大程度上受到了 Linux 桌面的影响。如果你回顾近几年来的 Windows 系统外观 —— 从 Windows XP 到 7再到 10 —— 整体视觉上都没有什么太大的变化,直到今天为止。
Windows 操作系统的新版本通常有 5 到 7 年的生命周期。如果你试着回想 Windows 提供给你的个性化选项,你会发现这些选项近几年来基本都是一致的,甚至是桌面整体的体验 —— 包括开始菜单位置、宽度、颜色 —— 一切都没变过。
但随着 Windows 11 的全新外观,这一点终于改变了。让我带你看一些我之前所见过的截图,并且分析一下,它们到底和流行的 Linux [桌面环境][1](如 KDE Plasma 和 GNOME有多相似。
### Windows 11 的外观受到了 KDE Plasma 和 GNOME 的启发?
#### 开始菜单和任务栏
传统的开始菜单和任务栏主题在 Windows 11 上有所变化。开始菜单和任务栏图标默认情况下位于任务栏中央。Windows 也在设置中提供了将任务栏图标和开始菜单移回左侧的选项。
![Windows 11 浅色模式下的开始菜单][2]
整体的布局方式和默认图标的色彩让我想起了 KDE Plasma 的任务栏和启动器。这些图标带有抛光,并且居中,给人带来类似 GNOME 上 Adwaita 图标的观感,而任务栏就更像是 KDE Plasma 的任务栏。
当你打开开始菜单后,它为你提供不同的图标和选项的排列方式。此外,当你开始打字时,顶部的搜索选项就会弹出。
现在,来看看全新设计的 KDE Plasma 启动器。我知道间距、图标大小和锐度并不完全一致,但你可以看到,两者看起来有多么惊人的相似。
![KDE Plasma 5.22 亮色模式下的启动器][3]
如果你正在使用 GNOME 或 Xfce 桌面,借助 [Arc Menu][4] 和一些小修改,你可以让两者看上去完全一致。
![修改过的 Arc Menu][5]
#### 窗口装饰
按照传统GNOME 总是用圆角作为标准的窗口装饰。作为对照Windows 则一直采用直角作为窗口装饰 —— 似乎一直都这样,直到现在为止。嗯,在 Windows 11 中,所有窗口装饰都是看上去不错的圆角。圆角的概念不是什么版权专利或者新想法,这就有一个问题了,为什么现在全都在用圆角?是有什么隐藏的目的吗?
![Windows 资源管理器和 Nautilus 的圆角][6]
哦,还记得 GNOME 的应用程序菜单的小指示器吗这些小点提示着这里到底有多少页的应用程序。Windows 11 似乎也使用了这种这种思路。
![标记页面数量的小点][7]
#### 调色盘
Windows 多年来始终有基于“蓝色”或其他蓝色变体的主题。虽然用户可以自行更改任务栏、开始菜单背景、窗口标题栏颜色的选项,但借助这个选项,调色板与亮暗模式结合,展示出巨大变化,给 Windows 桌面带来了更圆滑、迷人的外观。也许这个灵感源自 Ubuntu、KDE 或者其它风格的调色板。
另见:[Windows 11 系统要求让人“回首瞻望”。是时候迁移至 Linux 了?][8]
#### 暗黑模式
Windows 11 首次官方支持了暗黑模式,或者说是暗色主题。那么,我就直接在下面放两张截图,由大家自己评判。左侧是 Windows 11 暗黑模式下的开始菜单,右侧是使用了 Breeze Dark 主题的 KDE Plasma。
![Windows 11 开始菜单与 KDE Plasma 的比较][9]
#### 全新桌面小组件
灵感的启发从来不会停止。还记得 KDE Plasma 的小组件吗?其实,这也不是什么新概念,然而小组件已经出现在 Windows 11。这是全新小组件面板的截图。你可以添加、移除或者重新排序这些小组件。
![小组件菜单][10]
这些只是吸引我眼球的冰山一角。也许 Windows 11 还有许多“灵感”来“启发”它的外观。
但问题来了 —— 为什么现在反而是介绍这些功能和外观的最佳时机?
### 尾注
实话实说,当我第一次看到 Windows 11 的新外观时,我脑袋里就浮现出 Breeze Dark 主题的 KDE Plasma。借助很少量的修改你可以让 KDE Plasma 看上去像 Windows 11。这本身就说明了它们两者是有多么地相似。
如果你看向整个桌面操作系统的市场,唯独有 Windows、Linux 桌面和 macOS 是竞争者。至今为止,它们的外观都有明显的标志性特征,例如 macOS 有自己独一无二的外观。目前为止Windows 也有一样的蓝色主题的常规开始菜单等等。但借助这些新变化Windows 为用户提供了更丰富的定制选项,让它看上去更像 Linux 桌面。
在我个人看来Windows 团队需要一种不同的标志性特征,而不是一直从我们心爱的 Linux 桌面获得“启发”。
我不知道未来会发生什么但现在看来“E-E-E”还在竭尽全力运作。
再会。
