anyweb Posted October 22, 2011 Report post Posted October 22, 2011 The flexible Windows 8 start screen The Windows Developer Preview has been out for a month, and I've had a chance to look more closely at its features. Here's an overview of details, small and large, many of which you haven't seen before. One feature I like about the new Start screen design is that it scales for different screen sizes. Here, for example, is a 1920 x 1080 24-inch display. It offers five rows of tiles instead of the three rows on a 1366 x 768 screen. The Magnifier utility is especially touch-friendly Use the new Magnifier control to zoom in on a page (in this case, a setting in the immersive Control Panel). You can pin individual items to the Start screen The absence of any serious Metro style apps makes it hard to judge the platform, but you can get some clues from the sample apps. For example, the Stocks app allows you to enter a stock symbol and then "pin" the real-time trading information for that stock to the front page.
