Win 8 System Message Reminder settings

In Windows 8, the desktop is viewed as a powerful application, while the immersive experience of other applications allows users to concentrate on their current work. But the problem at the same time is whether the push of the new message will affect the focus of the work, all shielding the message will miss the important content, the message prompts the length of time everyone is different. Therefore, the settings for applying message reminders are particularly important.

By default, Windows 8 opens all supported application message reminders, and when a new message arrives, a message is displayed on the top right of the screen to alert the user that a new message has arrived, click on the message to switch to the applicable view, and click Close to stop the reminder.

Windows 8 is a platform-compatible operating system, and its challenges remain enormous. Although it can already run on different platforms, its user experience still has some room to rise. For example, the notice set in this article, it can be very good for different reminders for detailed settings, the function has been relatively perfect. However, the location of the counter set, but it is not perfect-the notice applied to the desktop according to different categories of the set can be, "easy to use" in the setting is very easy to ignore, it seems not perfect.
