yeah seen those, theyre more frameworks rather than the design applied.
- true, but in your context they're one and the same.. which is why it's a terrible idea.detritus

Still doesn't change the fact that Segoe is a butt-ugly font.
- like segoe light in the interface but not the heavier facemonkeyshine
- Segoe light is the only one i can stomach. Character spacing is still for shit tho.MrNibs

I got asked to do exactly the same last week...the client liked the 'big, simple, rectangular icons'...
Hay caramba.

From what I've seen the interface is pretty cool. I just don't like the idea of being locked into such an in-your-face color palette. What if you don't want pink/green/blue/purple all the time?
- filter it out, it's meant to denote categories, etc.prophetone
- filter it out? what does that mean? If they're used to denote categories, then what is pink?monospaced
- look at isotope below, also get'n tricky with css x js solves the mathematics of these sichationsprophetone
- He meant, 'Study it out'.ETM
- ... buddy.ETM
- Oh, I get it. I just don't like the idea of a palette being imposed so harshly. It's really intense.monospaced
- css that bitch to ur likingprophetone
- CSS the OS? I don't follow.monospaced
- I am sure there will be customization options and overall theme choices like always.ETM

It'll be funny when we start browsing websites on an iPad that looks like Win 8.
- when?monospaced
- When more people want their site to look like the metro UI.ETM
- Didn't think I had to spell it out for you. It IS the subject of this thread.ETM
- Or did you want me to say when Apple fails in 10 years or whatever BS you keep trolling on? :PETM
- Um, that's not me who's trolling that, BTW. It's CygnusZero! Please.monospaced
- Yeah, but you sarcastically keep it rolling.ETM
