George P Global Moderator Posted July 11, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted July 11, 2012 Wooo, wait a min, looking at your screenshot, at the taskbar. Does this mean you can set different behavior between the different screens? What I mean is, on the left the pinned icons show text but on the right they're the default it seems. Is that the case? And how did I miss this? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1025948-flaunt-your-windows-8-screenshots-here/page/12/#findComment-594996081 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the taskbar on the primary monitor can be configured independently to secondary monitors: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1025948-flaunt-your-windows-8-screenshots-here/page/12/#findComment-594997775 Share on other sites More sharing options...

duddit2 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 With all my new apps (new office and new creative suite), happy :) And yes the multi monitor options are far better in W8! But wait a sec, its just for tablets right? haha (not aimed at anyone in this thread, just at haters in general) :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1025948-flaunt-your-windows-8-screenshots-here/page/12/#findComment-595013283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted July 18, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted July 18, 2012 Can't wait to get the updated desktop tile UI we've seen in the surface demo. That should help things out. I also want more customization options though. I think letting you have different types of tile "themes" would be a good idea as well. Instead of just the default look, there could be a few more options.

I found one image: (Look at the bigger app icons on the tiles. Btw Lightroom icon still smaller, so it looks like not all applications will have big icons) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1025948-flaunt-your-windows-8-screenshots-here/page/12/#findComment-595014681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorbing Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 That Metro interface is such a mess. It is well suited for a tablet, not for a desktop.

George P Global Moderator Posted July 31, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'd love to see MS port the small tile option we've seen coming in WP8 to Win8 as well, for those who will have lots of things pinned by don't want to have to scroll left and right a lot. Of course some will say "just use zoom" but that's an extra step, unless they give you an option to go to a zoomed out view first and then zoom in after that. I just think there should be a few more options to combat "endless scrolling" which is one thing people brought up with WP7 and now we got the smaller tiles in WP8 and no right side gutter etc. remixedcat and guru 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1025948-flaunt-your-windows-8-screenshots-here/page/12/#findComment-595047507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally want a black taskbar but the only thing that stops me is the black font on the title bar. It's great that we have this option now.

Yeah but doesn't this mean that the windows are now just default white without color. That's what it seems like to me. So unless you are ok with white titlebars for your windows then this is not for you.

So unless you are ok with white titlebars for your windows then this is not for you. With all that white on Explorer and Office (on the Preview, at least), I'll probably (well, hopefully) learn to ignore a few more pixels of white :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1025948-flaunt-your-windows-8-screenshots-here/page/12/#findComment-595059141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
