Though Microsoft later introduced minimize button for modern UI apps with the release of Windows 8.1 Update 1, still this thing is disgusting. On Windows 8, the only way to get out of this screen is to either hover your mouse over the top right edge of the window or go to Windows start menu. Indeed I found, Chrome in Windows 8 mode doesn’t bring much value to desktop users who have to switch between apps and do various tasks simultaneously and contentiously. You will have to stuck in a Chrome only screen and your multitasking capability will die in-front. Though this interface is interesting for touch screen and tablet users, it added a big pain for normal desktop users. In Windows 8 or Metro mode, Chrome will take up your whole screen presenting chrome apps in its own task-bar. When you click on the Chrome icon in Windows 8 star menu, it will launch in Metro mode by default (recent versions of Chrome won’t do it unless you choose to have it from Chrome’s control panel). This interface is slightly different than Chrome’s original desktop mode. Windows 8 mode lets users launch Chrome in the style of Windows 8’s modern UI – say it touch friendly user interface. Beside internal changes, they also added Windows 8 mode to Chrome. Google didn’t make delay to introduce Windows 8 support to Chrome. Google’s in-house web browser, Chrome was not an exception to that. This UI system had direct link to Windows 8’s touch screen friendly interface. Some applications got – so called – Windows 8’s Metro UI (now it’s known as Modern UI) implementation. This included support for running the applications smoothly over windows 8 and to match with the OS’s overall interface. When Microsoft released Windows 8, most of all top software vendors started to implement Windows 8 support into their software.
