Metro JS

Metro JS helps developers create GUIs that look like the Metro (now known as Modern UI) interface for Windows 8.

Metro JS is great for developers building OS-like Web interfaces, especially those wanting to replicate Windows' latest look.

At its core Metro JS uses the concept of tile to describe a content block, tiles which can easily be customize in any way or form.

Developers can control tile placement, colors, dimensions, animation and so on.

The plugin works great with both static and dynamic data and can easily be integrated with any backend, regardless of the server-side language.
