ModernMix tries to fix all the issues which are present in Windows 8 apps. “ ModernMix” is a new software released by StarDock which has released 2 other useful software for Windows 8 in past which are “ Start8” to bring Start button and Start Menu back to Windows 8 and “ Decor8” to customize Start Screen appearance and functionality. Today in this topic we are going to share a new software which makes your Windows 8 app experience easier. If you also feel the same about these apps, this topic will definitely help you. New users can’t rectify how to close running app in Windows 8? Actually you can drag-n-drop the app from top to bottom to close it or you can use the good old “Alt+F4” keyboard shortcut to close these apps as mentioned here but its not known to everyone. The 3rd problem which many Windows 8 users face is the missing close button. It would have been really great if you could pin these apps on Taskbar and if you could launch them from your Windows 8 Desktop instead of first going to Start Screen. It would have been great if you could run these apps in small windows having titlebar similar to other program windows so that you can resize those apps according to your requirements as well as move them to anywhere on screen.Īlso these apps only run from Start Screen, you can’t launch them from Desktop. Although you can take help of Snap feature to divide screen area between 2 apps but its not sufficient. When you launch an app in Windows 8, it takes whole screen space.

For a third icon, you would do it three times, etc., etc. In this case, you have to use ALT + 255 multiple times.įor example, for the second desktop icon, you would type ALT + 255, ALT + 255 and then press Enter. If you try to use ALT + 255 for a second icon, it will say that there is already another icon with that same name. The second thing to note about this method is that it will only work for one desktop icon. The shortcut now appears to have no text under it. If so, click Continue to finish renaming the shortcut. Not sure why, but it only works when you use the keypad on the right.įor some shortcuts, you may see the File Access Denied dialog box display. Note that you need to use the number keypad on the right-hand side of the keyboard, not the one that is located above the letter keys. This time, instead of typing a space, hold down the Alt key and type 255 on the numeric keypad. To remove text from a shortcut, right-click on the shortcut icon and select Rename from the popup menu. The Desktop Icon Settings dialog box displays, allowing you to turn on and off the desired desktop icons. NOTE: You can add and remove desktop icons by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing Personalize from the popup menu, and clicking on the Change desktop icons link on the Personalization screen.

If you’re upgrading from an older version, you’ll be promoted to move any existing downloads to their new recommended location, so you don’t need to download them again. This is because some optional Windows security features don’t allow us to add new files inside Documents. The biggest change we’ve made is for Windows: aircraft and scenery which are downloaded automatically, will now be stored in a new folder, instead of one inside ‘Documents’.

There was no sidestep command, and they only entered the Z-axis when being hit with certain attacks. 2❝: While the stages rotated freely, characters could only move in 2D under their own power.Unique to the 2013 game, the breaker itself can be broken, which allows the combo to continue and temporarily disables combo breakers. In Killer Instinct 2, the breaker must be done with Punch if the attacker is using Kick, and vice-versa. note A full combo in Killer Instinct 2 goes Opener -> Auto-Double -> Manual Auto-Double -> Manual Auto-Double -> Linker Auto-Double -> Manual Auto-Double -> Manual Auto-Double -> Finisher In the first game and the 2013 game, the breaker must be done based on the strength of the attack used in the attacker's combo. Combo Breaker: Combos have various 'stages' to them, some of which are immune to being broken, some of which are not.Useless trivia: the first game, though marketed as using Ultra 64 hardware, was actually a custom Indigo 2 motherboard with a 100 MHz MIPS R4600 chip, Ultra graphics, and a hard drive for storing all the assets. It brought back many of the old characters and gameplay mechanics, but with a modern spin that helped revitalize a nearly 20-year-old franchise. The third game, a reboot of the series titled simply Killer Instinct again, released in 2013. that is, until E3 2013 when Microsoft announced a new KI game was in the works for the Xbox One. However, in light of certain news, it sadly seemed unlikely. The series still had a fanbase, however, and some still hoped for a revival done by developer Rare. An updated version, titled Killer Instinct Gold, was released for the Nintendo 64 a couple months after launch. A sequel called Killer Instinct 2 was later released, but wasn't nearly as popular for several reasons: getting rid of the pre-rendered backgrounds in favor of real time polygonal backgrounds, the revamping of several characters, a confusing time-travel plot, and the rise of 3D Fighting Games. The first proved popular due to its eye-popping graphics (courtesy of Silicon Graphics, who did the pre-rendered sprites for Donkey Kong Country), catchy soundtrack, and signature combo-intensive gameplay. ![]() This forces players to be keenly aware of what buttons their opponent is pressing even mid combo, and keeps things interesting and engaging the entire match. A "Combo Breaker" occurs if the opponent is keen enough to know what works in a Rock/Paper/Scissors situation by pressing the two light, medium or heavy buttons corresponding to what type of autodouble is being performed. However, the combo system has an out for players who are observant enough to know how their opponent is trying to combo them. Instead, combos in Killer Instinct are very formulaic and easy, following a strict process of opening with a special move (called Openers by the community), linking together auto-doubles note If you crave a little more technique, you can use Manual hits instead, which are more difficult to break and more special moves, before finally ending in a finisher that shaves off a ton of health. (" C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER" and " ULLLLLTRAAAAAA COMBO" seem to be running gags associated with the series.) You don't have to expertly string moves together to keep your opponent in a stunlock state to rack up big damage. KI-style combos are great for beginners who are inexperienced at fighting games. Among the competitors are people who have been wronged by UltraTech, most notably the Corporate Samurai and fanservice character Orchid, and a few of the company's whacked-out test subjects such as the Mascot Mook Fulgore. Set in a dystopic future Earth, the plot revolves around the eponymous Killer Instinct tournament held by the hugely-evil UltraTech corporation for reasons that are unclear, though the comic implies it's for the huge revenue from bloodthirsty spectators. ![]() I would keep the salt in there even with sweet things because salt always brings something a little extra.

The key is soaking nuts so they get softer and are easier for your food processor/blender to break down and be creamy. I’ve got several friends that aren’t eating cheese or dairy for a myriad of reasons, all that are health-related.Įven though we’re all taking the healthy high road doesn’t mean that delicious cheese memory goes away, so I’ve started dipping my toe into making plant-based cheeses and creamy sauces.Īfter a few years of resisting because it “seemed too hard,” it’s surprisingly easy, you just need to know you want some cheese by the morning for that afternoon and you’re good. You can often find nutritional yeast in the bulk section of well-stocked grocery stores.I love cheese, and sometimes cheese doesn’t love me back. Nutritional yeast is commonly added to foods to give it that nutty cheesy flavor such as popcorn, tofu pasta, cheese sauces, and nut-based cheeses. It is also highly nutritious as it is full of B-vitamins, including the hard-to-get B12 vitamin. It comes in yellow flakes (see picture above) and has a DELICIOUS nutty cheesy taste.

Pulse about 20 times, or until the cashews take on the consistency of cottage cheese, with curd-like clumps. Place the cashews, lemon zest, juice, and salt in the bowl of a food processor.
