New "Mini-Mode" (Condensed View) User Interface

The keyboard shortcuts that we have defined had some issues on keyboards which have AltGr keys. Since the shortcuts cannot be customized, we always disable keyboard shortcuts on keyboards which have AltGr.

Hmmm …

There are A LOT people with Alt Gr on their keyboards …

How about changing them to something more compatible? Or making them customizable?

Some of the hotkey combinations clashed with the existing system hotkeys on Alt Gr keyboards. Customizable hotkeys has been an option. Compared to other features, we have kept it at lower priority.

I agree - the new interfaces are grotesque. A misuse of screen space that violates KISS. However, neither my concurrence nor the GUI’s appearance are relevant.

Everything is in the tray tool. Once configured, the GUI serves no purpose. This dinosaur rocker would like adjustable font in the tray tool.

To this day, I do not understand why M$ doesn’t buy DFX from you.

I can answer that! Microsoft is infamous for the following “strategy”:

01.) Missing all trends
02.) Much too but late at least getting aware of them
03.) Trying to force their “solutions” into the marked
04.) Some times later removing them from the market since nobody cares
05.) Starting all over!

Zune player, Windows phone … many, many more. ^^

Asides, MS Apps are not so much hated everywhere for no reason also. Most people install third party stuff first after installing Windows. There are some goods things from them, but not much.

They also are really sh*tty at GUIs. :smiley:
