Rounded corners = inefficient, i.e. on the settings panel I would need to have 5 focus images instead of 1. I could add it but it isn't necessary and keeps things a little simpler.
But it would make the hole skin more consistent!
Amazing work anyway, thanks!

I think it looks better the way it is , the metro interface is al about simplicity.
Its the simplicity that makes it elegant , just my 2 cents

Really impressed with the work on the Metro home style but, and please don't take this the wrong way, it feels out of place with the rest of the skin. Wouldn't it be better used in a complete Metro themed skin?

It feels a bit like that at the start, but one gets used to it I guess. It would be lovely that the skilled skinners got together on this one and make it as consistent as possible all around
It is simply very well done, not too complex, not too simple, not too dull, not too loud, not too constrained yet not too flexible, at least IMHO Is this an "ok" of a dream ?
Made a quick test with the Quick Sand font I mentioned (note I'm not a designer much less a skinner. also I have little imagination when it comes to this stuff). Anyway here it goes:

For comparison purposes, here is with the default fonts (taken from a previous post).

Agreed. It actually feels like a completely different skin when I'm using the Metro home style.
That being said, great work on it! It's very nice and functional. I just really wish it fit with the rest of the views across Xperience.

@Hitcher
Yes, maybe. But someone else would have to do it because I like the current skin how it is.
@nbplopes
The font doesn't fit, try PT Sans Narrow, it's very similar to Segoe Condensed and it's free to use... maybe a bit too narrow. The advantage of using a narrow/condensed font is that you can make the font larger and the text still fits i.e. in the shutdown or options menu.

and now the stupid question of the day ..... i can`t get the extrafanart to work
i`ve enabled it in the skin settings
is there anything else i should do ?
- `Black - 2012-01-09 22:25
Extrafanart is only for the movie information dialog.

just a feature suggestion: the possibility of hiding certain pages of the home screen (via skin configuration).
eg: i use xbmc mainly for seeing tv shows, so the "music", "movies" and the Picture pane is always blank. also the "Spotlight" on the Home page shows some blank "pages"
