Windows 7 as Windows 8 - [Customize]

Windows 7 as Windows 8 - [Customize]

The first thing we notice about the Windows 8 system is its appearance and unusual interface - Metro style.

Metro-style is one new UI is completely different from all previous windows. It features large fields where you can store applications, shortcuts, images, gadgets, etc. This UI is customized for Tablet PCs but there is one program made for Windows 7 systems that you can install on a regular PC and have a real Metro Style UI.

That program is called Mosaic and is intended for users of the Week who want to "get acquainted" with the Metro Style interface.

You can download the program from THIS link. At the bottom of the page is a link to download the program itself, and above are the "Widgets". Packed in a ZIP archive no installation is required, it is launched by double-clicking on the .exe icon.

Note: You must have the .NET Framework 4.0 installed to run the program

Ok, if you have started the program, on the right side of the screen you will see the Menu where you add gadgets, icons, pictures, etc.

As soon as you start the program, some gadgets will appear on your desktop that you can remove or change.

Update: In the new version, the program runs in full screen so you will only see the Metro UI, without the Start bar or icons. And you can change that in the settings.

If you want to add an animated background, see the instructions  HERE.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

By Administrator
Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.
