I for one am a fan of the Metro look. Whether I'd ever use it on a client's site, that I can't say but for my own creations I simply adore the look. Awesome work!
Can you maybe point me towards any other metro UI libraries you may have found?
For WPF (.NET) applications, I've personally used MahAppsMetro (http://mahapps.com/MahApps.Metro/).
For web, I've seen code52's metroCSS (https://github.com/Code52/metro.css/) and olton's Metro UI CSS (http://metroui.org.ua/)
Both are full-blown frameworks with grids and everything and I've tried them out for my needs, but most libraries are too over the top. I needed something more stripped down for buttons that can work with Bootstrap or with my own handmade disaster.
On a sidenote, the day Microsoft adviced and pushed developers to stop calling it "Metro" and call it "Modern UI" instead (http://gizmodo.com/5933580/on-second-thought-microsoft-is-ca...), really got their own ecosystem off balance.
Thanks. I find these full blown templates invaluable in prototyping.
Oh of course, I don't mean that as a dig towards you - it's great that you found something that was needed and implemented it yourself, which you've done very well. I guess it's more towards Microsoft for taking a concept that is relatively well ingrained by now (I'm referring to buttons with bevels, gradients, and shadows), and turning it on it's head in a seemingly backwards way.
A few months ago I've been really searching high and low for a simple library to recreate those buttons Microsoft uses on their websites. I do agree, it really doesn't look like buttons when you take away the text. Well anyway, I decided to build one for my own. Just shared this v1.1 release to everyone here at hn. Just maybe, just maybe, someone out there also needs a simple button/form library for such a specific need.
The release kind of addresses some issues, because some people keep contacting me at twitter or fb asking me "how-to's", so hopefully most of their 'needs' are met :) Really tried to make the documentation a little eye friendly for everyone.
Thanks again man!
