The Windows 8 Metro Experience 1 Day Time-lapse!


Recommended Posts

It's warwagon....did you expect a funny part?

I mean, usually I understand the point even though it's not funny... but this time, I don't even know what the point is? What's it trying to show here? >.<

If Metro is the new start then you will constantly be going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and between your desktop and the Metro UI.

All good and well, but did you see how smooth it switched between the metro and desktop side of Win 8

Looks good too me. :)

I barely ever used the start menu in Win7, so that wouldn't change much using Win8

Also if you are going to use a lot of desktop apps, just pin them to your desktop or taskbar, problem solved

(back and forth)^?

The point he is trying to make (which is so not true it's far from funny) is that Metro/Immersive users will be jumping back and forth between the StartScreen and the desktop.

What an indecisive user. Usually people actually...do things on computers.

I mean, I know I for a fact just love clicking the start button, exiting out of it without doing anything, then clicking again. Actually, this is even MORE stupid, because theroetically, the start screen is providing a CRAPLOAD of more info when compared to the start button in windows 8, so they COULD be popping it up fairly frequently, but most likely because they're checking 1) email, 2) facebook, 3) weather, 4) RSS feeds..etc... all at once...which dosn't strike me as an insult to the OS that this "joke" is supposed to be.

I use the start menu all the time, definitely the above video shows what i would be doing.

You should have seen the fit he through when DOS went to Windows, I'm guessing he was in diapers but his mom still grew tired of it!

I am in some agreement, I ran the Win8 for about 3 months as my primary OS. I am willing to try and see where MS is heading with this and reserve judgement till the next beta.

But yeah, I think I will love the tablet UI, and it will be strange on the desktop. It might even be a big mistake. But I will wait and see.

Very nice system tray on the right. 25 icons.

Thanks My Normal resolution is 1920 by 1200. So I have plenty of room .Had to dumb it down to record the video.

Thread reported for no sense at all and just plain spam.

This is not spam. In fact this is how I envision a typical metro experience. Why wouldn't it be just like this? I mean you click start and "THAT" pops up.

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
