From the day of circulation Windows 8 we came face to face with the new “Modern UI”, also known as the metro. The Start menuς αντικαταστάθηκε με το νέο χαρακτηριστικό της οθόνης εκκίνησης που χωρίζει το UX των Windows σε δύο διαφορετικούς κόσμους – τον κόσμο των Metro apps και το κλασικό Desktop. Για την εναλλαγή μεταξύ αυτών των δύο UI, τα Windows 8 ήρθαν με δύο panels στο επάνω αριστερό και το επάνω δεξιό άκρο της οθόνης που ονομάζονται αντίστοιχα Switcher και Charms Bar.
The Charms Bar provides quick access to the following Charms: Search, Share, Start Screen, Devices and settings:
Switcher provides an easy way to get from the Modern Metro apps screen to your desktop. Like Charms Bar, it automatically appears on the screen as soon as you move your mouse to the upper left corner of the screen (and to the upper right for the Charms Bar).
Switcher and the Charms Bar are parts of the Windows 8 Edge UI.
If you are one of those who do not like these features because you use a computer with a mouse and you do not have a touchscreen, or because you like it and find the Charms Bar and Switcher a little annoying, you can remove it. Below we will mention two simple tweaks that will allow you to change the behavior of the Edge UI. After applying these tweaks, the Edge UI tables will not appear when you move your mouse over the left or right corner. This does not mean that Switcher and Charms Bar features will be completely disabled. They will still be able to show you how to use them (if you need them) with shortcuts on your keyboard.
"Win + Tab" will display the Switcher, while "Win + C" will display the Charms Bar.
