The Start screen of the Windows operating system got the biggest facelift through Windows Phone 8. There are also many important changes to the lock screen that has made the operating system even more useful. In the Windows Phone 7, the users were allowed to get some details about the next appointment in the calendar. In the Windows Phone 8, the users can swap it out for the most recent unread mail, missed call or text message. The user has the option to customize the notifications on the bottom of the screen as the user can choose the type of notifications that they receive and the order in which they are displayed. This information was confirmed after contacting the Windows support number.
In Windows Phone 8, there is ample room for five standard sized icons. It is a very good improvement over WP7, but unfortunately, this is not better than the notification system of Android operating system. The user also has the option to dynamically update the lock screen background to display information of third party apps. For example, HTC does a terrific job in its weather app, letting the users view the current temperature and the weather forecast. Other apps like CNN will offer breaking news updates in a similar way. The user can also have the lock screen to show off the Bing photo, if you are looking for eye candy.
Apart from these two changes, the Windows Phone 8 does not include a number of drastic changes to the UI. This does not mean that Microsoft has not thrown in extra features in Windows Phone 8. This just means that people who are familiar with the modern User Interface will not be having much of a learning curve when they start using their new handsets.
WP8 provides a number of elements for rendering text, in addition to the set of properties that are aimed at making a variety of formatted text. In addition, the user will be able to make an app bar to provide quick access to an app’s most frequent tasks. By using the app bar of Windows Phone, you help to make a consistent User Interface across all the apps on the Windows device.
If you wish to know more on the feature updates that are introduced by Windows Phone 8, you can contact the Windows support number. They will be able to give you the latest information on the features of Windows Phone 8.
