About this tag
The tag 'blend' on WindowsForum.com covers two distinct areas: Microsoft Blend for Visual Studio, a tool for designing XAML and HTML-based Windows apps, and the concept of blending in graphics APIs like DirectX. Threads discuss using Blend for Visual Studio 2015 to create Windows Universal Apps with improved XAML editing, as well as Blend for Visual Studio for building Metro style apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Additionally, the tag includes discussions on floating point blending in DirectX 10.1 and order-independent transparency in DirectX 11 demos. The tag also touches on caching gateways that blend block and object storage for enterprise environments.
