Metro is so dead simple to do inside WPF its like stealing design pixels from an overweight rich design pixel dude..who owns..lots of pix...ya know what, i have no analogy here but suffice to say metro is simple.
Tip: Wireframe your UI, then color it in. Stick to three primary colors, Chrome (aka Accent) | Brand (usually just 1x color can be 2 ..UPS (Brown/Gold), Aust Post (Red) etc... and Input (Like your car, you pop the hood and anything yellow means "touch friendly" anything not yellow, leave it alone..same principle applies. Now you've been taught metro ;) : --- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.riagenic.com On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 10:57 AM, Winston Pang <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Stephen, > > Yeah, I'm not sure if there's any solid WPF Metro theme packs around.
