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.
