Snap? (and Virtual Box?)
-
I have Windows 8 installed in Virtual Box. I just can't snap 2 metro on the screen.... :/ Can you? Is it because of Virtual Box? What kind of mouse gesture magic should I do?
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.

Not 100% sure on this, but not all apps support snap. My understanding is that the app has to opt in (by providing a snap-specific view/xaml).

In case of system resource access, Metro Apps work in the same way as Silverlight. So you need to explicitly provide access for the application to access Webcam and Microphone. You can give this permission in Capabilities tab of Application Manifest.

tss... the snap is not a functionality of the app, it's a functionality of the OS! You can snap the desktop and an app! But I figured out the problem, the Win8 VM only allowed for 128Mb video memory... And many thing didn't work properly! I installed Win8 on my old rusty laptop and all works fine now! (Wondering about installing it on my desktop, the answer is NO for now...)
