[QUOTE="Scythe42, post: 895198, member: 95833"] Win8 has no impact on this. D3D9 works like before, same goes for anything form related. Desktop Apps work exactly like before. Win8 just comes with a different default theme. But who cares, again no impact on MP itself how the decoration of a window looks. That some Win8 "tweaks" will be added is a different thing, though... New OS, new tweaks or adjustments for stuff that actually changed. And for the new component "Metro" we haven't yet made any real plans. Probably just some "Start Menu" optimisations that go nice with Metro. In fact you shoudln't have a lot of stuff, links and so on in a Start Menu folder, so Metro can properly leverage it and the user can define his tile. But that's installer stuff. So we probably adjust the contents of the "Team MediaPortal" folder so it plays hand in hand with Win8 as well. No biggie. All software is currently doing this so apps show up in the right place with a tile and not 1000000000000000000s of tiles that shouldn't be there. No one cared for a long time as there was no reason to deal with it. Now it's a good time to bring it up to what it should be since a long time. [/QUOTE]
