How To: Use Metro Apps in Desktop View on Windows 8.1
Metro apps are pretty nice, but they absolutely suck on a Windows desktop with a mouse and keyboard. That's to be expected though, since Metro (also known as Modern UI or Microsoft design language) was created mainly with touch input in mind for Surface Pros and Windows Phones.But many of the Metro-style apps and games on the Windows Store play rather nicely with a mouse/keyboard setup. Unfortunately, accessing these apps means using the touch-optimized Start menu, and getting back out of them can be a pain without touch input.While Microsoft claims to be remedying this exchange with new desktop-optimization features in its upcoming Windows release, we don't have to wait on them to get these features now. The team at StarDock has created a program that will allow you to run Metro apps in windowed-mode, right on your Windows 8 desktop. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.

Further options allow you to toggle a control overlay on windowed Metro apps, and the F10 key will always toggle between Metro and windowed mode. After the 30-day trial period, you can decide whether you like this feature enough to pay the 5 bucks that the full version costs.
