A top layer over WP 8.1 (Ex. Facebook Messenger on Android)

[shadownjoke]

I was wondering if it could be possible that Microsoft would be able to add a top layer over the current OS in which apps can hook into. For example, the messenger on Android looks incredible with the floating bubbles and i could easily call it the best Facebook Messenger service available. I know that it is currently against the OS rules and limitations of Windows Phones but do you think that it would be interesting to see a top layer, in which apps can hook into? :smile:

I guess floating will go leaps and bounds beyond the WP design language but it is a distant possibility.

What do chat bubbles have to do with design language? Android and iOS have different designs, yet the bubbles work well on both.

Would be interesting, though I hope to see something like the Windows 8 multitasking. Would be very lovely to use on a 1520.

this is great on android and it would be great in WP too.

Actually you stole my mind , i was thinking exactly this . I have a galaxy grand , in that the fb messanger is awesome . I really like that bubble of friend's profile pic, who has sent a message. It is far better than toast., and not only that , it only open in a small window like restore down in pc. it actually looks awesome, maybe someday ms thinks about that .
