Advertisements
As promised here’s a quick video walk-through of the changes in WP 7.8; plus what I could gather as a changelog:
- New Boot screen to match Windows Phone 8 (seen above)
- New tiles sizes
- Tiles now take up full width of the screen (like WP8)
- “Applications Arrow” moved to the bottom of the start screen
- New accent colors
- New accent color picker
- New Animations when switching between recent apps, and when choosing accent color (Visible at 3:02 in the video)
- Lock screen settings changed; now allows setting Bing Daily wallpaper as lock image (Updates automatically)
- Under the hood speed improvements (Whatsapp which used to take 10 seconds to fully loads now loads a lot quicker)
- New Office icon to match WP8 and Office ’13
- You can now set the default search engine for the browser as Google. (Thanks for the tip Caz)
- Changed display of number of notifications on pinned live tiles (used to be small black circle, now it uses a transparent square)
That’s about all I could spot, if you folks see anything else that’s been added let us know in the comments down below.
