How should the "Start button" of Windows 8.1 be changed

Windows 8 has made great changes to the interface, removing the Start button and the Start menu and replacing it with the start screen, which has been criticized for its poor market performance.

I from the earliest leaked beta to the developer Preview version of the way to use, it is not so inconsistent, the opposite feel the button is bigger, than before, more than before, look at the menu will find it difficult to focus ... So I prefer the "Start screen". Take a look at the available area comparison between the Start screen and the Start menu:

Microsoft's "Start screen" should be colorful, but the modern interface is too difficult to use, and my own "start screen" is rarely so gorgeous. I used the "Start screen" as the desktop, but the traditional program icon is only one color, it is difficult to see.

Even I've seen extreme examples (not me), still keeping shortcuts on the desktop, and the "Start screen" is empty-almost a silent protest.

I was wondering if I'd try to change it to see if I could save the pace too much Windows 8? So there is the following concept map and ideas.

Problem: "Start" can only slide to the bottom left corner of the screen

Scenario: Please return to "Start button"

It's true that the bottom left is the "Start button" position that most people are accustomed to, but my current taskbar is on the right side of the screen, and the Start button should be in the upper-right corner of my screen. Some people have the taskbar on the left, and others at the top of the screen.

In Windows 8, no matter where the taskbar must be moved to the lower-left corner to get started, it is a wise decision that 8.1 is rumoured to be returning to the Start button. Make a simulation diagram:

Question: Charms bar out of the way is too vague

Scenario: Point to Start button pop-up charms

As with the Start button, the new system removes a lot of function buttons that are resident on the screen--because the touch doesn't require too many buttons. Remember the "Show desktop" button on the right side of the Windows 7 taskbar? Now the button is gone, but the "site" of the button retains its original function.

The Charms bar is more covert than the above, and needs to be pointed to the upper-right corner of the screen. Accidentally slipped the mouse to the right edge of the screen is also easy to operate incorrectly, the most easy to point to is "search."

Now that we have the Start button, let's try to solve the problem of charms bar--When the mouse points to the button, several other commands fade into the screen and complete a perfect switch.

If you are in a touch environment, you can hold down the Start button and drag the charms bar out if the Start button is dragged down on top of the screen.

At the end of the deadline, I found a screenshot that was basically the same as my idea, and it should be from the Windows 8 Developer Beta:

Problem: I'm not used to "start" filling up the entire screen

Scenario: Use Windows Phone 8 's interface to transform the new "Start Menu"

When Windows 8 starts, it fills up the entire screen. Microsoft is showing a complete break from the "Start menu" of the past, but it is also a box interface with a ready-made "menu" example, which is Windows Phone.

Wouldn't it be nice to put the WP8 's startup interface in place near the "Start button"?

People who have become accustomed to the "Start screen" can use the mouse to drag the outside edge of the menu, to extend to the entire screen when the mouse pointer changes, or to use two fingers to enlarge the picture to "pinch" the menu. In full screen state, you can click the right arrow or the finger to slide up and down to cut back to the menu state.

A recent report says Windows 8.1 will add an arrow button to all programs on the Start screen, and I guess it should be like the WP7 interface:

Whether it's "Start screen" or "Start menu," It's easy to learn. Rather, it's a good solution for switching all programs and recommending programs. I will not draw the picture.

Problem: Modern UI applications are too small for traditional desktops

Scenario: Make the Modern UI application more like a traditional application

If you're like me, the vast majority of the first screens are traditional apps and few modern UI apps, I think one of the big reasons Microsoft sees Windows 8 is that they're isolated from the traditional desktop. Strong-twisted melons are not sweet, and doing so can only make modern UI applications more unpopular with PC users.

Modern mix is the answer to the modern UI application that enforces full screen. It is clear that Microsoft is wise to learn from Apple and to incorporate some of the main features of jailbreak users into its own system updates.

In addition to the modern UI windowing, there is another simple and approachable way to blend these apps with the traditional desktop-to put the dynamic magnets on the desktop and to regenerate the desktop gadgets.

Vista and Windows 7 desktop gadgets are really likable, unfortunately, because the security vulnerabilities can not be patched, removed in Windows 8, but we look at the dynamic magnetic paste dry things, is not the ability of desktop gadgets-the application is not open to display the status and update?

If the user is setting the Start menu, you can also easily drag the application icon from the menu area to the desktop or drag it back.

Since the user's main duty station is the traditional desktop, it only increases the visibility of the modern UI on the traditional desktop to give them more opportunities to use. The end result is to be ignored-I will not say how difficult it is to use the application.

Conclusion

Windows ' Most loyal users are PC users, and to capture their hearts, Windows must be a suitable operating system for a traditional PC. Even if you want to guide their operating habits, it should be step-by-step, according to the characteristics of different platforms ingenious Fusion.

The elements of iOS have been incorporated into Mac OS X's recent updates, but their integration with the system is not as blunt as it is with the aesthetic principles of the desktop system.

Finally, I sincerely hope that Microsoft will be all the aero era of the three-dimensional realistic image of the early shot, the system style is not the unification of my OCD patients can not endure.
