I mostly run the Preview version of Visual Studio which means I have also being using the earliest release of Fluent UI Refresh experience (you can try it yourself today). The new themes are inspired by Microsoft Edge and has what our designers call a “tinted” appearance, this gives us access to a new look beyond the rudimentary Dark, Light (and Blue) theming. Here is the list of themes available as of today:-
- Light
- Dark
- Bubblegum
- Cool Breeze
- Cool Slate
- Icy Mint
- Juicy Plum
- Mango Paradise
- Moonlight Glow
- Mystical Forest
- Silky Pink
- Spicy Red
- Sunny day
I love the names, but note there is no Blue theme, and that ultimately comes down to our focus on three pillars: cohesiveness, productivity and accessibility. To put this simply the Blue theme simply did not meet our accessibility standards, so while I imagine there will be an alternative on the market place I am not expecting it to be official. That said I am personally digging Cool Breeze, and Moonlight Glow more than adequately fills my gap for a kind of blue.
Anyway if you have feedback I am sharing a couple of links our design team is tracking for Fluent UI feedback:
