Metro Apps

December 27, 2014 11:28:53 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi,

I want to buy the start8 and I am currently trying it out.

I want to get rid of Metro Start (but do use Metro Apps),

Start8 has everything I want, except for one thing,

I want an Apps menu from where I can run Metro Apps easily.

from what I can see you have made it extremely difficult to run Metro apps from the start8 menu,

say you want to run Photos app..., Start -> All Programs -> searching through all installed apps to find "Modern UI Applications" -> Modern UI Applications -> Photos.

like this it's easier to run them through Metro start.

is there a way to have an Apps link, let say on the right column to run Metro apps easily?

I don't know why it isn't there already?

If there are Metro apps you use often you can pin them to the Start Menu, or you could use search for them if you know the names, but we do not currently have an apps link for them.  We can certainly consider it for the next update though.

pining all apps is not very convenient, and searching is not a great option,

it would be great if this could be added to the next update,

I see this already being done in some other apps, but I really like start8 and I want to stick with it.

Personally would love this! Tried a competitors, which had the metro apps in a menu on the right, but was very unstable, so went for start8. would love if you could add this feature!
