Questions about Windows 10
-
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this... I have been googleing terms all day and can't find a good write up on this topic. http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-10-build-10051-a-closer-look-at-the-new-mail-app[^] Based on those screen shots: 1) what is that UI style officially called? Modern? 2) I know people call it the hamburger, but does that button have an official name? 3) what is the left bar officially called? 4) on the left bar, whats the significance of the upper group of icons vs the lower group of icons? If somebody has a good link to a good write up about the design and the significance of everything, that would be awesome!

That may be what it's called, but IMHO it's a huge step backward. /ravi

I think that concludes another recent thread[^]. There's no longer a choice; one has to follow the market-leader, or become outdated.

You do realize asking questions about programming in the CP Lounge would be about as cost-effective a way of getting a good answer as writing a letter to Martha Steward asking about how I should proceed with the lubricative maintenance of the engine mounts on my 290 H.R. 8V-71 right? Pick one, any one: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/List.aspx[^] But not here in The Lounge.

Hmm... that seems like its conceptual theory more then the left bar is called a fly bar or whatever and the top buttons are for x and the bottom buttons are for y. That's really what I'm looking for.

Well, its not really a programming question. Yeah, I got a lot of smart ass useless responses.. but if I posted in the C# forum, I'd get an equal number of forum nazis telling me its not a C# question LOL. *Sigh*... I really have to switch over to SO one of these days LOL. That place seems a lot more useful and helpful.

Yeah, there are a lot of topics where there's clear place to put them.

Don't ask Microsoft. They don't know any more. They are the ones who created Windows Controls in the past, but now controls are created by: Ambiguous Internet Urchins (AIU) People who hang out and create HTML5 and put CSS3 styles over it. :D

Hmm... that seems to be the concept of the left toolbar. Interesting... Thanks.

Fair enough (under cloudy skies anyway), but the existence of a Discussion named "Windows 8, WinRT & Metro" practically grinds gears to the tune of "Modern". Now, "hamburger"? I don't know ... And incidently, a user can type in, under Settings, his location ... ANY LOCATION, when Googling in that Google box. Regardless where home is, SO, LOL (whatever that is).
