    New set of WP8.1 UI concepts

    I don't personally see that big of a semantic problem in there, but then again I'm not a very technical person. To me it would just reassign or modify the purpose of that screen from a simple task switcher to some kind of phone management screen. The possibility of users trying to manipulate NC...

    New set of WP8.1 UI concepts

    There is no de-emphasis of anything in my arguments. Remember, it's still as fast as switching between applications. I think it's pretty rude to call my argument baseless or something summoned out from thin air just because you don't understand it. I think there's real benefit in the task...

    New set of WP8.1 UI concepts

    No it isn't and no I'm not. I want WP to have a notification centre, because toast notifications are not enough for a complete notification system. I'm just arguing that any platform that has a toast notification system don't necessarily have to emphasize a speedy access to the notification...

    New set of WP8.1 UI concepts

    There's something clearly being misunderstood in here, let me try again. My point is that since toast notifications already provide a quick and immediate access to the notifications, there is no particular need for WP notification centre to have fast access to it as a design priority number one...

    New set of WP8.1 UI concepts

    For urgent notifications and immediate access, WP has toast notifications for that purpose. Because of that, there's no real reason having speed as a priority number one when considering notification center for Windows Phone, especially when we are considering a difference of about one second...

    New set of WP8.1 UI concepts

    I strongly disagree. Accessing task switcher screen and the notifications within is not particularly fast implementation option, but then again there's no real need for urgency accessing them either. It's far more important to be able to access them without interruptions to the general user...

    The Modern UI: what changes do you expect?

    The grid is specifically designed that way so that the last row of Tiles will be only half visible. It's a visual design cue that there are more Tiles in the bottom direction of the screen.

    Next Lumia 920xx type

    Your need for a quad-core is so irrational it hurts. Snapdragon 400 is a quad-core, but the cores are Cortex A7's instead of Krait and the GPU in that SOC is Adreno 305, which is slower than the Adreno 225 used in Lumia 920. I think the performance would be worse with Snapdragon 400. I would...

    File manager implementation ? an idea

    And? That does not change what I said a one bit. We are still amazingly bad sample population what comes to the smartphone features used or wanted. You really have a very loose definition of "fact". Unless you have some actual proof of that, it's just an opinion. I've only heard that WP is...

    File manager implementation ? an idea

    Oh come on! You can't be serious. This forum (or any other forum dedicated to smartphones) is the worst kind of population you can have for statistical surveys like that. Whatever we find important is meaningless when considering what the general population does. I would estimate the 80% to be...

    File manager implementation ? an idea

    No offence, but whatever viewpoint a single person has in there is statistically insignificant and has absolutely zero prediction power. We're talking about a country of 1.2B people after all. So unless you're working as a market analyst for a major carrier there, I don't think you can speak...

    Wallpapers and Live Backgrounds Feature for Windows Phone

    But there is a definite right and wrong in WP context. When the background makes it harder to perceive where the actual content begins and ends or when the background makes the app list less legible then it has clearly deviated from its original purpose and absolutely has become worse. And as I...

    Wallpapers and Live Backgrounds Feature for Windows Phone

    Having bad options available is a very bad thing. I'm not arguing that there's anything wrong in having choices, I'm only arguing that ability to have custom wallpaper is a bad option and as of such should not be implemented. Especially when they can scare potential customers away when someone...
