These Windows 8 desktop concepts have been made by Mark Grgurev (myownfriend on Deviantart). He likes Windows 8 but still can't get used to using Metro and Desktop Apps at the same time. These "Metro" concepts show his ideas for how the interface should be used.













More concept screenshots are here on myownfriend's gallery!

I hope someone from Microsoft will be looking at these mockups. I want my Windows 8 to be look like this!

^ too late, Windows 8 will go gold next week.

[Eye Pie Rate]

That looks much better. It should have looked like fucking longhorn.

[Villain]

ok i like those concepts...

[_akier_]

i like these better...

[FalseAgent]

yeah, I saw these a while back on Neowin. Absolutely brilliant. This is how Windows 8 should be like.

If this happens to be real Win8. I would definitely change my mind and instantly shift to Win8..
Awesome Mockups.
Just hope that those Microsoft Guys look at these and implement it..

[tinkerer_svk]

This needs to be made into a theme!

Maybe complete package with that custom explorer! Imagine having that explorer in W7

Don't lose your hopes. We will be able to customize Windows 8...hopefully.

Seeing as the Windows 8 RTM is being signed and finalized this week, I don't see that happening.

Windows 7 SE is definitely needed. I just want the new explorer, new IE, and fixes moved to 7 and I would be all good.

As much as I like Metro (In some areas), it's just not for desktop use. Upgrading my software isn't going to give my laptop touch functionality.

Looks great, but MS sucks balls when UI consistency is concerned.

This kind of refinement is (for MS) an afterthought instead of what it should be: a starting point.

So dont get your hopes up...

We will get this



MS must be run by retards (sorry for the strong words, but they drive me nuts)

Actually no, Microsoft got rid of Aero so no more transparency anywhere.

Actually yes, Microsoft is keeping the taskbar transparent. It simply no longer has Aero blur.

i'd like to see you do better.

Anyway, the flat UI in that screenshot doesn't look bad at all.

I could give them some tips , but i will admit it is a difficult job.
But it is typical of MS to come up with something good and then failing to implement it fully.
Metro is a good idea, but MS implementation has me worrying, just like a lot of other users.

This could be called a real design.

Microsoft did a worse piece of work obviously.

Wow, you got a lot of rep-points for posting this. Really nice mockups.
