[dba-Tech] Metro for your Linux

Hi Jim

It certainly does. But it is like so many other things: if you don't want/wish it to work, it of course doesn't.

Hi Gustav:

Well, interfaces are little more than skins or they should be.

IMHO, people should just be able to pick the FE (presentation manager) they want and the underlying functionality should all remain the same and in place. If this methodology was followed by Microsoft there would have been a lot less issues with the adoption of Windows 8. The metro IDE would have slowly morphed into the common presentation manager and there would have been far less contraverse.

...And of course whether Windows 8.x just works out of the box is a debatable subject. ;-)

Hi Jim

It takes a lot more than a skin to build a Metro simulation.
And why bother when you can get the real stuff which works out of the box?

With little effort anyone can have their own Metro skin:

...and then turn it off it not to your liking. ;-)
