At Build Conference 2017, Microsoft introduced a new design language for apps, called Fluent Design, which was previously coded under the project name NEON. If you’re not familiar, Fluent Design makes Windows elements look elegant by using similar fonts, transparency, and other visual elements. The apps using this language were slowly rolled out to Insiders before the Build Conference, but now the software giant is rolling them out to non-Insiders.Two well-known apps, Calculator and Alarms and Clock, have a fluent design and have been updated to version 10.1705.1302.0 and 10.1705.1304.0, respectively.
Both apps now feature a transparent look, which looks significantly better than the previous version. These updates were released to Fast Ring insiders a week ago.
Here is a screenshot of the Calculator app:

Store also updated
The Windows Store has also been updated with Fluent design. The update is live to everyone as I see. The newer design is clean and elegant and when you have dark mode enabled, it gives a very cleaner look as we can see here:
I expect the other apps to update with the new design as well.
