ModernMix bug

full screen instead of windowed

from Stardock Forums

I have discovered what i think is a bug in ModernMix. I set the program to run metro apps in full screen when launched from the start menu (metro) and windowed when launched from the desktop. The problem is as follows: If I first start a metro app from the metro start menu in full screen, then close it and start it again from the desktop, the app starts in full screen when launched from the desktop (I set ModernMix to run apps windowed from the desktop). If I close it and start it again from the desktop a second time, it starts windowed, as it should.  So, apps start in full screen mode from the desktop if the previous launch was made from metro in full screen. I have attached a screenshot of the settings I use in ModernMix. Thank you and please excuse my english! (I'm from Romania)

Hello, I just downloaded the 1.0 version of ModernMix but the bug posted above is still present. I want to buy this piece of software because i find it very useful but until that bug is fixed, I won't. The settings in the screenshot above are the ones I want to use, unfortunately that bug keeps me from using ModernMix set up the way I like. My trial version expires soon, so my question is this: Will you fix this bug until the next version of ModernMix is rolled out? Thank you!

I reported the same issue a day or two ago in the posting titled 'How should modern applications appear when opened'.  I agree this is a problem that should be fixed soon.

Thank you.
