> If anything, visual studio should have adopted the all-lowercase typography of the original metro-style design language from zune and windows phone 7, not AN ALL-UPPERCASE ONE. Win7 Metro also had ALL CAPS in a few places, which is where I believe this was copied from since it was used there on the top of the screen, so where the menu bar is in a desktop app. The MSDN blog post that announced it also specifically cited Zune: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/a-design-with-al.... That said I have no idea why they actually did this, only that it was not a popular decision among devs working on VS at the time - so much so that they snuck in that registry key that'd let you disable it (I bet the management really appreciated that when they had to back out after overwhelmingly negative feedback). The monochrome icons were also unpopular on the team, but there was little they could do about that one. |
