I've loved Microsoft's Metro design language since they began implementing it on the first Zunes, all the way to its new Windows Phone OS. However, after seeing some work from Chris Lindhartsen ([link]), I couldn't help wonder what Windows would look like with a little Metro in the mix.

Here's a hint: stunning.

I'll echo Chris' disclaimer and note that this is, unfortunately, just a concept; however, comments and suggestions are perfectly welcome.

It must be true that Windows never had original idea... lets see this in a next release... LOL

Nice work!

Amazing. I would love to see Microsoft implement something like this into the future personalization panel.

This looks amazing. Tell me though, what would be the difference between Aero style and Basic style? I am assuming that Aero, in Microsoft's context, refers to the glassed, translucent visual style of Vista and 7. Not seeing that same effect in Metro would, in my mind, eliminate the concept of "Aero".

That's true. I was going off the current naming conventions and groups currently in place in Windows 7, so "aero" would be redundant here. Maybe a rename to "metro themes" would be more fitting.

The way I see it, the metro themes would have a little more eye candy in the form of transitions and such,while the basic themes have much less of that and would be higher contrast.

Damn I hope Windows 8 has more Metro(-ish) style, if it's closer to this mockup I would be a happy man!
