Windows 11 taskbar UI changes

Microsoft is testing notification badges in Windows 11 after bringing back the weather widget to the taskbar recently.

[{"selector":"#anim-f817a45d-fe8c-4a03-81d6-746064ca2182 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-21.874999829338588%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5e8c075e-711c-4d18-92bd-2d81e46521e5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4fd692b3-ff7a-4d64-8285-b14165b40169","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.24204%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

A banner will appear at the top of the Widgets board with more information about what triggered the notification badge

According to Windows Insider chief Amanda Langowski

Although it isn’t stated explicitly, I would anticipate that these notifications, as well as the Widgets taskbar button, can be disabled.

It introduces major changes to the UI and continues the trend of making user customization more difficult.
