FrontFace offers you a fresh, intuitive user interface that's specially designed for tablets and netbook computers! With FrontFace, your netbook, tablet, or home computer is transformed into a lifestyle device, with an elegant top menu that makes browsing the web or launching applications fun and easy.

When you start using FrontFace, you'll get to pick custom widgets to appear on your screen as big, glassy icons. There are widgets for clocks, calendars, web search, news, even Wikipedia, with even more coming down the pipe! Plus, there's support for regular Windows applications, like Microsoft Office, with the ability to switch between running apps with just one click. And best of all, all applications are given as much space as possible on your screen!

Along with those widgets, you'll also get to enjoy special apps designed exclusively for use with FrontFace -- stuff like a Twitter client, RSS reader, email checker, and more. There's even an integrated web browser!

And for those rare times that you need to drop into the old Windows UI, FrontFace lets you do that, too, thanks to its convenient "Windows Mode"!

FrontFace 2 is being released in April 2012 and comes with many new features, not to mention better performance and usability improvements! It's been literally redesigned and developed from ground up to provide even more flexibly and personalization options. FrontFace 2 is the perfect user interface not only for Windows-based tablets, slates and netbook computers but also for normal desktop computers, All-in-One PCs and laptop computers. Due to its intuitive user interface it is great for less experienced users that find the normal Windows GUI to complex. But also for professional users that want a great-looking interface that helps to increase productivity, FrontFace 2 is the right choice!

New and Enhanced Features in FrontFace 2 (abbreviated list!):

  • Improved performance and usability
  • More customization options (theming, colors and functionality)
  • Compatible with all existing Windows applications (Word, Excel, etc.)
  • Support for removable media like USB bars, SD cards, etc.
  • Support for system tray applications (e.g. virus scanners, etc.)
  • Integrated notification center for RSS feeds, Facebook, twitter, etc.
  • New volume and brightness control
  • Onscreen keyboard access
  • Access to all standard Windows features like start menu, desktop, etc.
  • FrontFace Market 2 with free apps and widgets for the home screen

Michael R. In a former comment, an API for FrontFace is mentioned. Is this out now?

How easy and how fast is it to switch between the FrontFace and the Window-screen? Is it possible to define a hotkey doing this?

Happy to hear all upgrades are free and that v2 is about to appear soon? Do the answers to the questions above also apply to v2?

mirabyte Software Hi Michael,

We have an API ready here. In case you are interested, please contact us and we can send you some details. It is based on .NET4 so if you are familiar with C# or VB.NET, it should be fairly easy for you...

Switching to Windows in FrontFace takes about 1 second. But actually you will not have to that very often because also normal Windows applications (like e.g. Word) run WITHIN then FrontFace UI. FrontFace is not only a launcher with custom apps and widgets - it is a true GUI platform that is fully compatible with any existing Windows application.

Regarding v2: We will also offer a separate product called "FrontFace SELECT" which is for business customers that want to use a customized version in vertical scenarios, e.g. as kiosk terminal, for medical or logistics applications or as an interface for PCs in meeting rooms, etc. You can use FrontFace SELECT to build your own custom user interface that is 100% tailored to your individual use case. The regular FrontFace 2 which is included in this deal also offers a lot of customization options but is targeted at consumers that use the software on their PCs, netbooks, tablets or All-in-One computers. Please visit our Web site in the next days for details.

ddalian I am interested in using your product in a desktop environment for application launch and file access. I also like the widgets as I have grown accustomed to them on the android platform. Can you please tell me how well the software works with multiple monitors? I tried to read some of the comments in the forum but I am limited to English only.

mirabyte Software Hi Duane, both v1 and v2 can be used on multi screen systems but there is no explicit support for this feature. So you will only be able to make "use" of multiple monitors if you have applications like PowerPoint or a video player that can show content on the other screen. The FrontFace UI will always be shown on the primary screen. In v2 we might add further support for multi screen systems in the future.

Please note that all comments for this promotion will be screened before posting. It's nothing personal, just a step we have to take because of a few bad apples last time around.
