There is a link to demo in there <a href="http://bootswatch.com/cosmo/" rel="nofollow">http://bootswatch.com/cosmo/</a><p>I like the look, and will definitely be using it in internal projects and prototypes.<p>I found it a bit hard to read super light gray on somewhat light gray or plain white background(quotations, dropdown). I think a little more contrast is required. The default button, especially when used on similar colored background(forms), has the same issue.<p>I understand they are going for the metro look, but adding a drop shadow to actionable items(buttons) while the not-clickable items remain flat(alert; element not clickable but the cross) will help mitigate some end-user confusion.
I love bootswatch and would happily pay $5-$10 a month for regular swatches like this uploaded every few days / week, I'm not a designer nor do I want to spend time trying to be, bootstrap + bootswatch give me the ability to get something up ,running and looking pretty damn good very quickly.
I like Metro but for one thing...<p>...the buttons aren't apparently clickable. I embrace the shift away from excessive skeuomorphism as much as anybody but failing to provide affordances is inexcusable.
related is Metro UI:<p><a href="http://metroui.org.ua/" rel="nofollow">http://metroui.org.ua/</a><p>It is a complete CSS+Javascsript library to apply the Metro design and theme to a web app and includes things like icons, etc.<p>It is very popular amongst Microsoft web developers and looks really good.
It's interesting that people are still calling it "Metro", even after Microsoft was told to stop (because of a trademark issue). Microsoft stopped, but the rest of the world didn't, apparently. I know I didn't. It's a great name.<p>Can the company that went after Microsoft (Metro AG) go after other people besides Microsoft?<p><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/2/3215039/microsoft-metro-name-dispute-developers" rel="nofollow">http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/2/3215039/microsoft-metro-nam...</a>
You know when we built [PDFzen](<a href="https://pdfzen.com" rel="nofollow">https://pdfzen.com</a>), we used Bootstrap and made it Metro-esque. I wish we'd have had something like this for the homepage. It certainly would've sped things up.
Its only me? or i´m the only one here to think that Metro UI is corny like the 80´s ?
i think that as time goes by, people will be ashamed of using this as they were ashamed about their hair style in their pictures from the 80´s :)
Very nice! I've been waiting for something like this. There are other metro themes for bootstrap, but they're a bit over the top and try to replicate the metro GUI on the PC/tablet.
Not all that Metroy, as someone who spent all summer straight immersed in Metro.<p>Also, I wish Foundation would get 1% of the attention Bootstrap does. Once you figure out how to get past their docs-light into the full docs, I've found it to be FAR faster to work with than Bootstrap.
