Description
I present to you my new concept. A Metro Start Menu Concept that i think is missing from Microsoft Windows 8.
Feel free to make any comments that would help to make this work even better.
I' ve used for this concept some metro icons from DaKirby309. You can find them here :

The whole purpose of the new Windows 8 Start Screen is the live tiles, and the icons in your design are to small to show app updates. If you could come up with a better design than Microsoft did that incorporates live app updates then you should definitely transform it into an app.

Thanks for your feedback mate! Well this idea is based on just tiles (not live tiles) for the app shortcuts that could play the role of a metro start menu that microsoft removed from desktop's taskbar. I dont think they need to show updates since their purpose is different than the start ui live tiles. Due to their size also its something that is not allowing updates. But i like your proposal and your idea. Based on this you ask for a start menu that will show updates on live tiles right? This will make it much bigger though.. what do you think?

Hey buddy..thank you so much for your great comment..it really means a lot..as for ms i dont think so they ll use it..its official statement that they wont go back to start orb and menu..unfortunately but ok..we ll get used to the new way or use 3rd party softwares to bring it back!!

That looks amazing. It's really user friendly, but ARE THOSE ROUNDED CORNERS ON THE SPEECH BUBBLES?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks My friend!! Yes these are rounded corners but are not a part of the idea..these are just tips for the preview needs..nothing more..if those were a part of the concept and were workable then these angles were going to be squared

Hey, this is very cool!
I still feel that there is a lot of discrepancy between the Metro UI and the Desktop UI in Win 8. Maybe some of the artists here can bridge that gap with a new theme!

thx bro..well you mean the desktops theme right? it doesnt fit with the metro ui..microsoft uses aero with metro but i dont think its a good idea..its something like little of this little of that..you can still check my other concepts. maybe you ll find something interesting!

is there i desktop on windows 8 ? all i have ever seen was this weird start menu or start screen as a touch screen but no desktop?
i my self use windows 7 and mostly i juts use vert pc and i run windows xp but 8 don't look that good to me whats different?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes buddy of course..windows 8 logs in metro start ui but there is a tile that takes you to normal desktop screen! same as 7 with some changes e.g there is no more start orb + start menu..thats why i made a concept based on that idea! win 8 are awesome..it has some small bugs, some critical changes i dont like but till now it seems to be an awesome OS you should try it!

I like it. So long as it doesnt replace the fullscreen start and the only way to activate it is via an old fashioned start button on the taskbar or to snap the start menu to the side panes, like you would with an app.

thx mate

Think, that all maybe possible on xp,vista,7 with rainmeter!) But this some difficult. Think that ms must made UI more customizable than all previous version in os.

I mean you could build this startmenu with Avedesk for older Versions of Windows. Don't know if Avedesk works on 8. I'll gonna try it.
