  1. 1. Do you like Metro?



Recommended Posts

I do not mind the Metro feel, it is not so bad. I think that it moves the Windows OS more to the Tablet feel of things however, that just appears to be the direction of computing as a hole these days.

I'm just hoping we are going to see more metro in the desktop side of Windows 8 in the CP. I Love Metro. Clean. Simple. Content.

Ha ha, nice one! :)

I really like Metro. Have been using Windows since Windows 95, so I personally will welcome any change to the same old Taskbar, Start menu way of navigation and usage! :)

I love simplistic designs but Metro doesn't look good IMO. The closest MS got to a nice simple/professional looking theme for Windows was Watercolor and unfortunately we never got to see a really polished version of it

edit: Also if you have to "force" people to say they like your design, doesn't that mean your design suck? :s

On the tablet and the phone, Metro is excellent.

I don't see the point of it on the Desktop (both stylistically and functionally).

Watercolor was the shi*.

Too bad it never came to be a final design.

I adored and still like Luna (yeah, call me names :p), so I'd have liked to have both...

Watercolor would have made a great "in-between" design that you could have tacked on Me and maybe 2k, that way Luna wouldn't have felt as "from scratch"y, something I never worried about though.

Watercolor truly is a nice theme.

It would have been nice to see MS work on it some more and polish it as much as it deserved

Here's a more polished picture: preview-1-3178.jpg

That my friend is a Window Blinds theme.

A good one, though.

This is where MS should have headed for Watercolor.

It's a WindowBlind theme copy of the MSStyle theme by Binary, doesn't really look different. But your screenshot showed a really early version of the theme, for the best "looking" version from MS you would have to look at the last build of Whistler that had Watercolor (build 2419). I was very sad to see it gone for Luna in the build after :(

To be honest I was too lazy to find a more recent build screenshot... :p

I'm surprised by the 24 people that went for the option "no, I have no taste." I'm even more surprised that there are 57 people that think Metro looks good.
