Windows Phone Metro Interface on Android


Some say it boring, some say exciting. Some say it path breaking, some say freezing. But you cannot deny that the Metro Interface on Windows Phones looks different. Different from other operating systems' icon based interfaces. Especially the live tiles make the home screen a looker, it gives a pleasant feel which no live wallpaper can provide.
Now if you have an Android phone but like the feel of Metro UI, there are solutions in the android market. There are several apps which can give you the desired metro feel. But I liked the Launcher7. It is small, intuitive, beautiful and functioning. Just search for Launcher7 in android market, and download. The size is small (1.68mb) but the possibilities are endless.
Here are some among the best features:
i) Apps can be pinned to the home screen.
ii) Tile colour can be changed.
iii) Background colour is changeable.
iv) Tiles get rotated when the screen is in landscape mode.
v) Tile icons can be set from SD card etc.
vi) The app work seamlessly, with animations working beautifully.
vii) And whatsmore the app is free.
