windows 8 - Windowed Application in Non-Desktop Mode


Ironically enough, on first impression, Windows 8 seems to have gotten rid of the idea of a "window". All the apps are full screen, dialog boxes are virtually forgotten, etc. I know you can go to the Desktop mode on Windows 8 and have an old school windows experience, where you see windows with Minimize and Restore buttons, but are there any windowed applications when you're not in Desktop mode?



Answer



When in full-screen Windows 8 Metro-UI, the only windowing it supports is snapping of applications, to run 2 at once, in 2 different configurations. App switching can be done using the top left-hand corner.


Other than that, there is no windowing.
