Description
A concept of what a Windows 10 Charms Bar can look like when 'continuum' (touch mode) is activated.
The Charms Bar retains certain Windows 8 features while incorporating some of the Task Bar's functionality.
Users will have quick access to the Time, Action Center, Power Functions, Notification Center, Start Menu, Open Apps, Share Functions and Favorites (pinned on the Task Bar).

The main idea of this concept is to optimize the experience for touch, especially one-handed use.
Windows 8 has many good touch-centric ideas but it isn't optimized for one-handed use, meaning it always feels more natural with two hands.
