WB Metro (WIP)

based on the popular metro UI

from WinCustomize Forums

Hello everyone,

 

I've been getting kind of frustrated with my last WIP, ClearGem (even though it's close to being finished), so I started a new project. I've always liked the GUI of Zune software as well as the new Windows phone UI. This inspired me to create a theme, based on the Metro style. It's very simplistic, but usable. I feel like I'm off to a good start with this one, I haven't come across any problems yet. However, it's probably going to be a while before I finish it - I've been working on ClearGem off and on for about 8 months now.

Here's a preview, I would appreciate some feedback from the community. Thanks!

Looking good G3    Can I ask how you got the setup on the right side of the screen there?

Sure thing, it's a rainmeter config.

I made some major changes already (as expected...). I think I like this version better. Should I make the taskbar white too? or leave it dark? Also, what else could I do to the start menu? It seems too simple...

Looking pretty cool so far! What about a dark version and a white version, I don't know how much work that is though? Or what about just a bit of the color just on the right side of the start menu?

Yeah, I'm willing to do a light and dark version. Mostly because I'm in no hurry to finish. I just don't know whether I should use a white taskbar with the light version.

Great idea about the start menu! I could have white fading into pink or orange.....I think that would blend nicely. Thanks for the help Karmat! You're truly a master of desktop design so I'll take your advice anytime! :grin:
