Unfortunately, while enthusiasts were pleased with Image Resizer being added to Windows 10 PowerToys, many found its user interface not user-friendly. Those complaints have now been addressed after Microsoft confirmed that the Windows 10 Fluent user interface has been implemented on Image Resizer.
With this new update, users can resize images using predefined sizes such as Small, Medium, Large, and Phone, or choose custom sizes. Support for themes will also be added. Similarly, the Color Picker tool will undergo changes with Fluent Design language.
Other updates coming to PowerToys include improved dark mode and the ability to customize Windows for better multi-monitor setups. And in another aesthetic change, PowerToys will now have rounded corners, following the design pattern Microsoft has applied to Windows 10X. The latest PowerToys update is now available on Microsoft's GitHub page.
