More new Windows 8.1 features spotted in leaked build

Published by

A new report claims to have found some more features in a leaked build of Windows 8.1, such as opening more than one Windows 8 app in a window and changes to how desktop apps look on the Start screen.

From Neowin:
McAkins Online posts up word that, while examining the unnamed leaked build, they found a new option when right clicking on a Windows 8 app called “Open in a New Window”. It would appear that this will allow more than one Windows 8 apps to run in a window, something that has been requested by many current Windows 8 users.

Another small change that was spotted concerns how desktop apps are displayed on the Start screen. In Windows 8, the logo of a desktop app is shown on a background that has the current color of a user's Start screen. The leaked Windows 8.1 build shows that desktop app tiles now have the background color of the app logo itself.
