Charm context menu, and some other stuff

from Stardock Forums

On the bottom left popout menu (the one close to where the start menu orb goes,) if you right click it, it brings up a context menu that has a ton of useful power user features. I don't suppose there is a way to keep this menu somehow when using start8? Perhaps add all of these options as part of the menu when you right click the start orb?

Also this may be beyond start8, but I'd like to know if stardock can implement it somehow: It would be nice if you could have metro apps show on the taskbar, and maybe include a right click menu to close them as well, and even include aero "peek" functionality. Also what would be nice is to have the taskbar visible even while metro and metro apps are open.

That context menu is still there, and if you right click in the very bottom left corner, it will still show, as well as still being able to be displayed by pressing Win+X.

Not sure how possible Metro apps on the taskbar is, as Microsoft has gone to great lengths to keep Metro at least somewhat sandboxed.  Certainly worth looking into, though.

Nice, thanks for the tip!
