Ever wanted to run Windows 8 “Modern” apps in a window on the desktop? Of course, everyone wanted an opportunity to do just that; and that is what ModernMix brings to your system.

What’s ModernMix?

ModernMix allows you to run Modern (Metro) apps in a window on your desktop. Windows 8 Modern apps, also known as Metro or RT apps, will use the full screen on your display regardless of how much of the screen they really need. As a result, that weather app, mail program or stock ticker is going to use the entirety of your computer display.

The program has a lot of useful features including some of the following: it enables you to run multiple Modern apps in individual separate windows on the desktop as well as launch them from the desktop; modern app window sizes are remembered the next time you launch them; active Modern apps will also appear on your taskbar where they can be pinned for quick access later. Also create desktop shortcuts for Modern apps; standard Windows 8 title bar is enabled for Modern apps; and others.
