Fluent UI design, the new look and feel of model-driven apps

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. In today’s blog I will discuss on a really cool feature that is in preview and certainly going to be liked by users a lot.

If you are wondering what I am talking about, it’s the new Fluent UI design of Model-driven apps. Model-driven apps are great with functionality and I find it as one of the fastest way to create an enterprise level app for end-users.

But there has been always some complaints from the user community about the look and feel of it.

Traditionally this is how you model-driven apps look. Below is the look and feel of the grid.

What if I tell you that the same screens look like below.

You have these nice floating layouts and controls with highlighted background and drop shadows. I am pretty sure you must be excited by now to enable this feature. To do that, follow the below steps.

  1. Navigate to maker portal and edit the model-driven app of your choice
  2. Open settings and enable the Try the new look and feel feature.

Once done, publish your changes. And that’s all. Your app will now have the new look.
