[QUOTE=RautaPalli;35009564]Can't do that in the apps menu. [/QUOTE] uh. yes you can. i just did it literally 15 seconds ago.
[QUOTE=Lazor;35012901]uh. yes you can. i just did it literally 15 seconds ago.[/QUOTE] Apps menu. As in not the screen that comes up when you press windows key once. In that screen you right click and select all apps. There is no option to remove icons there. Or am I missing something? I don't know how you could even mix them up, the tiles look completely different.

How well would this work on a laptop with a resistive touch screen and stylus?

[QUOTE=Panda X;35013265][url]http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/[/url] [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/gna4ap.png[/t][/QUOTE] Microsoft, take note. Why is this not in already?
That actually would work as a good in-between compromise in my opinion.
[QUOTE=Panda X;35013265][url]http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/[/url] [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/gna4ap.png[/t][/QUOTE] that's..actually an awesome idea.
Stardock, you're brilliant. When we didn't have a pinnable taskbar, we turned to you for your... Toolbar thing. And now you've come through yet again with a Start Menu for Windows 8. I love you, Stardock. My money is ready.
[QUOTE=Panda X;35013265][url]http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/[/url] [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/gna4ap.png[/t][/QUOTE] Thank you Stardock, you have made buying W8 a distinct possibility now.
"Photos" seems to support more video formats than "Video". At least .MOV.
I haven't really seen any .mov files in a long while, isn't it only apple that produces that format?
[QUOTE=djjkxbox360;35019796]I haven't really seen any .mov files in a long while, isn't it only apple that produces that format?[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's QuickTime's proprietary h.264 container.
[QUOTE=P320;35020103]Yeah, it's QuickTime's proprietary h.264 container.[/QUOTE] And it's annoying as fuck. Anyhow, it's a neat thing that it can open the shit.
The one thing 8 needs to get better at is constinency.
[QUOTE=Crimptor;35021025]The one thing 8 needs to get better at is constinency.[/QUOTE] Pretty much Windows in general needs to look more consistent with it's ui.
Here's my Start8_setup.exe that Stardock emailed me, so you guys don't have to sign up to download it: [url]http://www.gamefront.com/files/21402722/Start8_setup.exe[/url]
Got a mail too. [thumb]http://vps.marlamin.nl/u/Screenshot-2012-03-06_18.37.26.png[/thumb] FUCKING YES
My only problem with how it is now is that that third column is a bit cut off. Otherwise I quite like it.
I'm so glad you can change the start orb, i just wish that there was .bmp support.
[QUOTE=Leather Belt;35022539]I'm so glad you can change the start orb, i just wish that there was .bmp support.[/QUOTE] Any particular reason you'd rather .bmp instead of .png?
[QUOTE=Marlamin;35022052]Got a mail too. [thumb]http://vps.marlamin.nl/u/Screenshot-2012-03-06_18.37.26.png[/thumb] FUCKING YES[/QUOTE] In ny opinion that just looks worse.
[QUOTE=Panda X;35022579]Any particular reason you'd rather .bmp instead of .png?[/QUOTE] I have a lot of start orbs for 7 and most of them are .bmps. I know I can convert them but I'm lazy. :v:

I just made this 3200x1900 wallpaper, since I'm still on Dev Preview. [t]http://i.imgur.com/2uTBK.jpg[/t] You can grab it [b][url=http://sonyrootkit.deviantart.com/art/SoOn-288936191]here.[/url][/b]
If you used the curves of the bubbles to make the S and the N it'd look better in my opinion.
[QUOTE=Panda X;35023506]If you used the curves of the bubbles to make the S and the N it'd look better in my opinion.[/QUOTE] Could you give me a quick and dirty mock-up in paint?
