Loving the software but I have a couple of ideas for ways to improve it.
Please let us have some degree of control regarding what appears in the right-hand pane. I've noticed that it is possible to replace the link shortcuts however doing so does not rename them in the right-hand pane. So I can have a link to Network, but it'll still say "Games". A bit of customisation here would be awesome.
If you could introduce a way to run Metro apps in window-frames on the desktop that'd be an awesome addition to this little tool's feature-set. I'm not entirely sure if that'd be possible but it would be amazing.
Besides capturing the WinKey and the Ctrl+Esc combinations, perhaps offer the ability to use an alternate combination to launch the Metro Start Screen (e.g. Ctrl + Win). It's always nice to know you've got a method to use the Metro screen (even if it's purposefully out of the way for the most part).
One final request- I used to love the ability to hit the WinKey and type a location whereby I could browse within the start menu. I wouldn't need to open a "run" dialogue, nor need to open Windows Explorer- I could just hit the WinKey, type "c:\program files (" and enter- and I'd be given my Program Files (x86) folder. Any way of bringing this Win7 functionality into Start8? Would be great!
I don't expect any real response, just please consider these during further development.
Much love,
Dean
