RETRO USER INTERFACE FOR WINDOWS8
RetroUI Pro allows you to skip the Windows 8 Start screen, brings back the start button and start menu, makes the taskbar visible from the Start screen, allows you to resize Windows Store apps, and includes TabletView
SKIP THE START SCREEN:-
Not excited about being forced to use the new Windows 8 start screen (Metro) interface? RetroUI allows you to bypass this and immediately start the classic desktop at every login
GET THE START MENU BACK:-
The Start menu is back and better than ever! Touch-friendly, pinned favorites, and integrated Metro features make using Window 8 more efficient and far easier
ELIMINATE THE CONFUSION:-
OF WINDOWS 8RetroUI allows you to see the start button and taskbar while the Windows 8 Start screen is running. Users can simply click the taskbar to return to the classic desktop
RUN WINDOWS STORE APPS IN A WINDOW:-
RetroUI’s Enforce™ technology resizes Windows Store apps so that the taskbar and start button are visible. Users can easily toggle apps between resizable and full-screen
INTRODUCING TABLETVIEW:-
Lets desktop users organize their favorites. A single click allows you to open classic Windows software, websites, default Windows Store Apps, and more
TABLETVIEW IS GREAT ON MOBILE DEVICES TOO:-
Lets mobile users organize and launch anything with touch
Thinix RetroUI™ allows users to bypass the Windows 8 Metro User Interface (Metro UI) and automatically return to a classic Windows desktop* after login. Users can then return to the Metro desktop or use any Metro UI function. This allows users to switch back and forth freely, but causes the PC to switch to a classic Windows desktop following each login. Optionally, Thinix RetroUI can be configured to eliminate/lock-out all Metro UI features. In this mode, users are sent to a classic Windows desktop at Login, and the new Metro features; Charms Bar, Hot Corners, and Metro Switcher - are completely disabled and inaccessible.
RetroUI Start Menu
RetroUI not only brings back the Start menu, we've enhanced it! The new touch-friendly design works as well with a finger as it does with a mouse, and brings back all the functions you have used in previous versions of Windows. But it doesn't stop there - our reimagined start menu allows you to pin applications and save them as touch-friendly buttons.
RetroUI Enforce
With RetroUI Enforce, you can now 'force' the Windows 8 Start Screen and Windows Store apps to run in a way that allows the classic desktop, taskbar, and start button to remain visible. Windows Store apps can even run inside of a resizable window! You can toggle between full screen and windowed mode and can run apps at any size and position you prefer. You can save the window positions and sizes so they launch that way the next time you launch them. For Metro apps that you want to leave full screen, you can exclude them from auto-resizing.
TabletView
The core benefit of TabletView over the Windows 8 Start Screen is that it enables you to launch anything from within the classic Windows desktop. It allows you to open any pinned application in just two clicks, compared to the four clicks typical to launch the same shortcut from the Start Screen. Launch shortcuts such as My Computer, Documents, Music, Videos, Pictures, Control Panel, Command Prompt. Pin your favorite installed applications like Word, Excel, Outlook, and Powerpoint, and open your favorite web sites. Shortcuts for common, default Windows Store apps are included as well for you to pin to TabletView.
