Windows 8 Tablet UI Skins?
Windows 8 Tablet UI Skins?
We’ve already been given several glimpses at the new tablet UI for Windows 8 and we hope to get our first proper good look at Windows 8 later on this month at Microsoft’s Build conference.
Now of course the tablet UI is more of a skin over the current Windows
desktop which we are already familiar with. At the moment it looks like
users will be able to switch between the regular Windows 8 Desktop which
has had a few tweaks made to it and the new Tablet UI which is more
finger friendly and specifically designed for touch.
Now
personally I think that Microsoft have done a pretty good job with this
new Tablet UI. I think it’s quite aesthetically pleasing from what I’ve
seen and it looks like it certainly will be more finger friendly. But
today I was wondering : Will Microsoft offer different skins for this
new Tablet UI?
Windows users love to customise their desktop experience. There is countless themes available for Windows 7 and we are already working on getting a collection of Windows 8 themes and wallpapers together for you here at Windows8news. But I wonder, will we have to add a Tablet UI Skin section soon?
I
think it would be pretty cool if Microsoft built in support for
changing the skin and theme of the Tablet UI. I don’t see why they
wouldn’t because it people are already used to being able to customise
the desktop, so why not the tablet interface? It should be pretty
straightforward for them to do it but we haven’t heard any mention of it
yet to date.
In the past Microsoft didn’t really give us much of
an option when it came to customising our desktops ( Windows XP ) but
Windows Vista and certainly Windows 7 have become much easier to
customise with themes and wallpapers.
Of course even if Microsoft
don’t build in support for changing the Tablet UI skin or theme, we can
be fairly certain that the Windows hacking community
will definitely find a way to customise it at the end of the day!
So
what do you think – Will Microsoft build in support for changing the
Tablet UI skin or will the hackers have to work their magic and do it
instead?
