Metro apps

[support at jidesoft.com]

Thanks Jim for pointing it out. My Metro skin part is very limited and was
only meant for the demo purpose. I haven't got a chance to work on it again
after the JavaOne. On the other hand, Jonathan's javafx links newsletter a
while ago mentioned JMetro
(http://pixelduke.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/jmetro-windows-8-controls-on-java
/) which you can keep an eye on. 

Thanks,
-David
