Windows 8 Those things that need to change

Windows8 has caused a lot of controversy since the release of "Start Menu" and "The appearance of the Metro interface". Around the "Start menu button should be canceled" "The Metro interface is suitable for traditional desktops"; unfolded meaningless battle … …
start menu button on the tablet is indeed optional Because they are equipped with the Win button, on the traditional desktop, the user has long been accustomed to the long-established start menu button, but this does not mean that the Win8 change is wrong. As early as the beta version, I liked this setting, I don't think it takes much to learn, or even cost. After canceling the Start Menu button, when you put the mouse in the lower left corner, the larger “Start Menu button” will appear in the lower left corner. If you click and the original Start Menu button is the same. It's worth noting that the new “hidden start menu button” is more sensible and allows users to feel that this button is really true.





























1. The first is the unspeakable Chinese, using the short and fat Microsoft Yahei. Before that, the chief designer of the WP design team, Mike Kruzeniski, talked about the Chinese style design problem and finally confirmed that the contour font is WP official simplified Chinese font, and divided into regular and black form. This aspect is clearly localized or the Windows design team is not taking care of it.
2. Look at the Windows Store again. I didn't see the shadow of the Metro interface, it was purely a bad design of stacked blocks. Compared to the design of the xbox, the first point, I completely do not know what the right side is? Do I know when I slide to the right side; the second point, the color matching problem, the Windows phone has been selected on the xbox, such as “ Home” and other texts are distinguished by color, either in shades or in other similar colors. The design of Windows is completely different. The third point is that the Metro interface is a highly technical design. I found it on the design of the Windows store. The shadow of domestic website design, no sense of technology.


aside these details, Windows8 the design also needs to be greatly improved. Let's take a look at how Windows 8 Metro IE has selected files for Metro App. The picture below shows the screen for uploading pictures. Compared with Windows Phone, Windows 8 does not display thumbnails at all, if you think this is not important, and when you choose music sync When you go to Windows 8, you will be more entangled. Faced with countless albums, you only see the icon of the folder. If you want to see the album cover you must enter the folder to see it.

Metro is Microsoft's only design style that can compete with Apple, and the Windows design team has designed this style so badly. If Windows 8 wants to succeed, then it needs to change the team. In designing the xbox team, the Windows phone design is better than the Windows team.
