![]() We would be inclined to compress files, should you choose this route to colour file type names. However, encrypting the file carries certain risk should you choose not to back up the encryption key. If you have explored the core folders in Windows prior to this, you may have noticed a few examples are coloured: these are compressed as standard, meaning the same principles hold true for both.Ĭompressing the file will not compromise your ability to access it, and it can be edited even after this. Whether you choose to do so or not is entirely your own preference. It should be noted also that encrypting the file will prompt Windows to offer to encrypt the entire folder. It is not possible to check both boxes, nor is it possible to change the specific colours they display in. If you compressed it, then it will appear as blue. ![]() Depending on the options checked, the file name should be coloured. I still want to see an option to choose from various colors, but for now this will have to do.6. But this is finally changing, in a new Windows 8.1 leak shows that Microsoft is going away from green and a nice blue color will be the replacement. I don’t know about you, but I always found the green color scheme in Mail a little bit boring. There is also a new option in the app commands that lets you open multiple emails in new windows by doing a 50-50 split, making it easier to compare information from several messages or to reply an important email without missing anything. This allows you to perform things like deleting or flagging one or many emails a lot easier. ![]() Just click, hold, drag the message to any of the sections and drop. This new feature works with touch-enabled devices and mouse. Microsoft is also adding drag & drop support. The problem, though, is that when you close IE, you have to manually resize Mail to full screen and this action is expected, so now in the new update, the app will automatically full screen after closing the web browser (small but really useful functionality). ![]() ![]() This is a great addition because you aren’t taken away from the app just to see a web page. As you know starting Windows 8.1 the Mail app does a 50-50 split to make room for Internet Explorer 11 to open an email link. One functionality that I’m really happy to see is how the new version Mail can automatically adapt and resize to full screen when opening a link from an email. In the first version of Windows 8, the “app commands” bar was hidden and hard to find, you either have to swipe from the bottom or right-click on an empty space to make options visible, which didn’t make much sense to many users. This is a new way that Microsoft is trying to help users discover more commands they can use in the app. Mail for Windows 8.1 also brings a new UI change that you’ll start seeing in many apps, that is the “More” button represented by a very slim bar with three dots (…) at the bottom. ( Not to get confused here, the star you see under Inbox is only a list for your favorite contacts, it is totally separate from staring a folder.) If you want to have quick access to specific folders, you have to pin them by tapping or clicking the star icon. One thing you’ll see is that the old folder structure is gone, in the new version of Mail “All Folders” is located at the bottom when clicking the folder icon. ![]()
