How to start app via tiles (Metro-look)

Temperche@feddit.de to Linux@lemmy.ml – 107 points –

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

BRB, gotta wash out my eyes with bleach now.

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.
