To address the first problem, Windows Store apps can now run in resizable windows that can be<br />

dragged around the desktop, pinned to the taskbar, minimized and maximized, and otherwise managed<br />

The design standards for modern apps are still evolving, but you can expect to see one element<br />

increasingly often. In the upper-left corner, just below the title bar, is a “hamburger menu,” so named<br />

because its three vertical lines resemble a stylized and not all that appetizing flat patty between two<br />

flat buns. Clicking or tapping the hamburger typically reveals a menu along the left edge of the screen<br />

that collapses to a thin row of icons when it’s not in use. Figure 2-<strong>10</strong> shows three different takes on the<br />

hamburger menu from three different built-in apps: Mail, News, and Photos.<br />

windows. To find settings and app commands, use the hamburger menu in the upper-left corner.<br />
