Hi everyone,

I'd like to have my apps as tiles within a full-screen view (ideally called via pressing the Windows button on the keyboard) in Linux, pretty much the Windows Metro look as seen above. I have all the icon files and just need to link them to the apps themselves. Might you know of a way to do that?

Thanks for your help! Temperche

Meh, i hate the design too, but i can absolutely support someone looking into making their linux install more personal.

It sucks when forced on you by Microsoft but when the suffering is entirely self inflicted it's way more fun

Heck, that's practically the unofficial linux motto.

I am somewhat convinced some part of my brain is just an agent of chaos and wants to see me suffer because the moment I get something working nicely I suddenly get the urge to change everything

Sure. Whatever. But Windows 8 is really the last theme I'd ever choose.

It looks pretty good but its usability is shit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
