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

    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

          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

        If you use the winkey shortcuts (which absolutely nobody did lol) or a touch screen (which even fewer people had), the usability isn’t all that bad. Not my favourite UI, but not impossible to use either.

        It’s not like Gnome is all that different, and that’s still one of the most popular DEs. The fullscreen apps, though, I still don’t know what Microsoft must’ve been drinking when they decided every app needed to launch full screen on a 4k display…
