Microsoft is testing a new taskbar design for the Windows 11 operating system, which it hasn’t announced yet. These are the new animation effects that will appear in the taskbar. Judging by the published data, the icons there will appear at the bottom of the screen while the desktop is loading.

These effects are still being tested in early versions of the operating system and are still unclear. whether and when they are planned to be added to the release build. However, testing is conducted on both the Dev and Beta channels, so we can hope that such an opportunity will emerge soon.

At the same time, according to the source, new functions of the taskbar are not expected anytime soon. Presumably, including new animation effects. It was previously reported that it would be easier to install the default browser instead of Edge in Windows 10. It is unknown whether this feature will appear in Windows 11. Source
