Metro apps

[Daniel Zwolenski]

I wonder if Pedro's approach of simply "skinning" things to look Metro
would be a good interim solution. So apps are deployed
in compatibility mode but look somewhat windows8-like.

Sounds like Jim already did a little of this. Perhaps there could be some
collab/sharing with Pedro to support him developing this for the benefit of
all.
