lucasbuck 2 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I had actually asked this awhile back when I was doing my remodel. At that time, MB was going through a lot of rapid changes, so I kind of set this project off to the side. I have an Asus ET1611 All in One Touch Screen (they use them a lot for point of sale computers) in my kitchen, mainly to stream music while we cook. At that time, there wasn't a whole lot of options for touch screens that worked well (scrolling, song selection, etc.) I was just wondering since I was going to start trying to set it back up again if anyone could give me some suggestions on a theme that would work well with it. Thanks for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott84Z28 39 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 If you run Win8.1 or 10 then the Win8 (Metro) app works great on touchscreens/tablets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucasbuck 2 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Okay, I'm dumb, what happens in 4 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8282 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Okay, I'm dumb, what happens in 4 weeks? I would assume the Windows 10 upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucasbuck 2 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 I didn't even think about that. But still, what's the best touch screen friendly profile to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucasbuck 2 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Sorry, not profile. Theme. Or do I just run the Metro app by itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott84Z28 39 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Ya, the app itself is already touch friendly. The first time you run it asks if you want to use it as touch or with keyboard and mouse. It's been designed more so for touch though. I use it on my Win8.1 tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucasbuck 2 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'll have to look into how much it costs to upgrade 7. Thanks for the advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
