If you are using Windows 8 or 8.1, it’s a sin to not know what Metro is. In any case, I will tell you that Metro is the codename of a design language by Microsoft. The key principle is that the language makes a transfer of spotlight from stuffy design to the content aspect. Which is basically the design the following picture shows…
Now, we are going to look at someone of the applications that flatter the Metro design. All of these apps share a minimal interface with a focus on content and graphics. These are some of the ‘must-haves’ if you’re using the Windows 8(.1) OS.
Cut The Rope
This popular game needs no introduction. Even if it can be played in browsers, there’s nothing like the aesthetics and comfort of playing the game with this application.
Kobo
The Kobo app almost looks like the Window’s start screen. Without any interface elements disturbing you, you can use this eReader application for convenient reading.
Pirates Love Daisies
This game has surely stolen some hearts. Play it and you’ll know why. Like Cut The Rope, you can use the browser, but why compromise when you have an application that makes the experience all the more exciting.
Cookbook
Cookbook, as the name tells it all, is a cookbook application. What makes this application appealing is that the recipes are not cluttered, it uses mouth-watering pictures, minimal design and has over 2,00,000 recipes.
Evernote
Evernote has always been one among the most loved applications, be it on Windows, Android or iOS. The Metro design implemented in it highlights and brings out the best of this application.
Ashampoo ImageFX
Ashampoo ImageFX is awesome at capturing instant images from your webcam. The main utility of the application is the various effects it provides for image files.
Vimeo
As YouTube is Google’s product, it’s unsurprising that Vimeo makes it to the list of Windows apps. Videos are enlisted in tiles and clicking on anyone of them gives a full-screen player.
