Ever notice how sloppy the Windows 8 and 8.1 desktop tile templates look, as if they just kinda slapped it together without caring about giving desktop users a good first impression of Metro?

Compare to Windows 10 where it's a lot less sloppy looking:

I think every graphical toolkit should have a Metro style as a choice.

Metro (and Windows Phone) is never going to return on a corporate scale the same way it was a decade ago if it ever did return because that's just how publicly-traded companies work. They have to change things and nothing can repeat exactly as it ever was before after too many years, even if it means it's for the worse. They have to keep those investors happy with shiny new stuff that may not even be good but works if you're big enough. It just has to be new.

It's the year 2015. I recently worked on at least one Metro-styled app, my phone has Live Tiles on its homescreen, and Xenoblade X is on the horizon.

You know, I wonder... if you like Metro UI/Metro Design/Windows Phone stuff a lot, are you also trans? I ask because I tend to read more stuff about this from trans posters and wondered if it was my imagination or not.

I think the late 90's-2000's (through 2015 if counting Metro) aesthetics were the best. I want the cups with the blue and purple waves on them again.

I noticed that I still haven't fixed the light mode toggle switches so I made them themable today.

Me liking #Android seems like blasphemy, but those two versions weren't bad and I liked the appearance of the Holo theme in 4.x and wish it stayed an option even though I never used it (makes sense, I enjoy #Metro).

"Content over chrome" should be more prevalent in modern UI design, particularly for mobile stuff due to much more limited screen space.

I have modified the "Universal" #QtQuick style's toggle switches to be more like Metro and they look just about perfect (need to tweak it a bit, mostly for spacing and text position/capitalization/size), down to smoothly filling the space when the handle slides over. Here's the current start+theme page in my Settings app, by the way. I don't think I've shown it before.
