Windows 8 Style - Non Full Screen

Display same tiles as Full Screen Windows 8 Menu

April 30, 2013 5:26 PM from

Start8 is a great tool and I really like the idea of my Windows 8 start menu appearing in a window rather than taking over the entire screen. I feel that the switch between the Windows Desktop "world" and the Metro "world" to be quite jarring and find that Start 8 removes this sense of discontinuity. However, I don't want to lose the functionality of the Windows 8 start menu which I've really grown to like. The dynamic tiles which I have grouped into categories is a nice, intuitive interface in my opinion and I don't want to lose it.

Is it on the product roadmap to enable the non full screen options for the Windows 8 style menu to display the same tiles in the same groups as the actual full screen menu?

Many thanks

Tony

Untick the option in start8 to go to the apps page and you should get the same menu as full screen.

Start8 needs to be set to Windows 8 menu mode to do this.
