[Software] Microsoft will add an icon with the time and content of user interest to the Windows 10 toolbar

[Dark]

Microsoft will update in the coming weeks the Windows 10 toolbar with an icon that will inform about the weather conditions of the area where the user is and that, when opened, offers more information about other content such as news, sports, Stocks and traffic .

The new icon will be located by default to the left of the system and notification icons on the Windows 10 toolbar, based on snapshots and video shown by Microsoft on the Windows blog.

The images also show that the icon will give visual information on the current weather - and the forecast for the next few days - through a drawing such as a sun or clouds, textual information on the temperature and an indication of whether the weather is "sunny" or if there are "storms". The user can configure that only the icon or the icon with text is visible.

The rest of the services are activated by passing the course on the icon, which will open a tab with a carousel of cards of different colors with images and text that include content on news, sports, Stock Market and traffic. The user can click on any content to obtain more information through a browser.

All these services can be deactivated or configured at the user's discretion. The company indicates that content can be personalized by changing interests through a specific manager. Content sources can also be customized through the Windows content ecosystem.

News and interests in the Windows toolbar will begin to appear in the coming weeks, although general availability will take a few months, as Microsoft has warned.
