7/6/2023 0 Comments Clipy paper things![]() ![]() Instead of using bitmaps like rival Apple, Microsoft is using vector formats to render its emoji, which provide benefits such as easy scalability and reduced file sizes when flatter, 2D images are used. In a previous blog post, the company stated that these emoji will be exclusive to Windows 11, so Windows 10 users who won’t be upgrading to the latest OS will be out of luck.Īccording to technology publication The Verge, Microsoft may have had to resort to 2D styling because of technical limitations in what it is trying to achieve with its emoji and the color font format. With the new Windows 11 2D emoji, Microsoft is opting for a more modernized style, with bold colors and a simple, minimalist look to the emoji. The company had previously stated that it would be switching from 3D emoji to 2D emoji earlier this summer ahead of the launch of Windows 11, noting that it will animate many of the emoji on its platforms. ![]() Windows 11 now offers a more modern and expressive emoji to use in your hybrid communications, allowing you to add fun, expression, and personality to your communications.” From color palettes to modular features, designers built out a system that would scale to the expansive set of Unicode emoji. “A team of emoji designers, program managers, font experts, and developers focused on creating this new emoji system. “These new Fluent-style emoji being released in Windows 11 today feel personal and familiar, two of our Windows 11 design principles,” Microsoft wrote in a blog post highlighting Clippy’s return and the importance of the use of emoji in communication. The company claims that the new emoji were created using its new Fluent design style, and its team of designers worked to make emoji scalable. The new emoji style that Microsoft is bringing to Windows 11 through this latest optional software update sports a 2D appearance compared to the 3D styles that were previously previewed. Along with Clippy, there are also a number of new emojis that Microsoft is showing off. Clippy’s return is part of Microsoft’s latest November 2021 Windows 11 Insider preview build. Rather than bringing back Clippy as another digital assistant, the iconic character will instead replace the standard paperclip emoji in Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system. ![]() With reviews that glowing, why wouldn't you buy Delaney's $2.99 (about £2.03, AU$3.93) e-erotica featuring a digital assistant well past his prime? You can buy " Conquered by Clippy" on Amazon to read on the Kindle app, and if you like Delaney's work, he's also got a saucy number on Tetris blocks.Microsoft’s iconic Clippy assistant for Office is making a big comeback on Windows 11, but in another form. The reviews, all five-star of course, are pretty hilarious themselves, with one reviewer calling "Conquered by Clippy" the "most exciting paperclip-focused erotica I've ever read," and another calling it the "erotic adventure of Clippy I never knew I needed." When that alien turns out to be an incredibly large, helpful animated paperclip, Christie gets all bent out of shape, presumably over the sex appeal emitted by Microsoft's cold, metallic digital assistant. That's about to change, however, as erotica author Leonard Delaney has released a sexy e-book called "Conquered by Clippy." In it, main character Christie Aackerlund is flown by the world's largest technology company to a remote island all by herself to investigate a strange alien artifact. ![]()
