At the MIX 2010 session entitled, Windows Phone UI and Design Language, Microsoft discussed the thought process behind Windows Phone 7's user interface and how it came to be. Metro is a UI vision/guidance across all of Microsoft's consumer products. The overall concept of using Metro in Windows Phone 7 came about because Microsoft wanted to help users 'find their way' across their phones and the information it leads them to. The inspiration came from public transportation. If you look at the fonts and graphics used in a place like the London Underground or New York's subway system, you'll understand what Microsoft is referring to.
The entire OS uses a custom Microsoft made font, the name of which has not been mentioned. Microsoft decided to put a heavy emphasis on text and the beauty that it embodies. Instead of using a scrollbar to show that more content is available, as most phone OSes do, WP7S utilizes text for this function by running it off the screen (as seen in its titles and tabs).
With regards to app development, Microsoft doesn't want developers to focus on the UI and style of their apps, but rather the content. Instead of worrying about the design, they should utilize Microsoft's UI overall style. Microsoft aims to provide users with a consistent UI throughout the entire phone experience. However, this does not mean that developers who don't use Microsoft's UI layout will have their apps rejected from the Marketplace. The above is simply a suggestion for developers to better the overall WP7S experience.
Although the OS requires screens that can handle at least 4 simultaneous touches, gestures available in WP7S are limited to two. Games will probably be a place where we could see further touch points needed. The available gestures are tap, double tap, touch and hold, pan, flick, and pinch and stretch.
Microsoft also limits app bar (that's the bar you pull up at the bottom of the screen by swiping upwards) icons to a maximum of four, with three being preferred. Most apps will be developed as single page apps that span the width of multiple screens. To navigate the app, a user will pan side to side using tabs. Microsoft is pushing this as the preferred method for app development.
Microsoft also confirmed the old Windows Mobile 7 UI that leaked several times during development. Originally codenamed 'Photon'
Check out the new promo video that was shown at the session. Below, there is also a gallery of photos taken from the slideshow presentation. The company scrapped the 'Photon' plans and moved on to using the 'Metro' UI which we have seen implemented in Windows Media Center, Xbox 360, Zune HD and now Windows Phone 7. Neowin revealed the original Windows Mobile 7 UI last month.

One of the best things that makes the Android OS the prime choice of many users is its flexibility in adapting to the latest trends in technology. The ability to run custom homescreen launchers is a plus factor because it can transform any Android device into something different that rival OSes can’t catch up with.
You have probably heard of the popular GO Launcher EX and Launcher Pro homescreen launchers that offer blazingly fast performance in navigating in and out of your homescreen. This time around app developer Seize Ent has upped the ante of the popular homescreen launcher by adding a little twist in bringing the elusive Metro UI launcher to Android devices.
One of the most beautiful homescreen launchers to date, the Metro UI homescreen launcher, is in fact found in the upcoming Windows 8 OS. Android users can still experience the thrill and feel of the Windows 8 launcher just by installing the GO Launcher theme on their device. The task is quite simple as you don’t need need hacking or modifying skills to get that Windows 8 feel on your device.
To install the theme all you need to do is to download the GO Launcher EX application to your Android device. After installing the launcher, you are now ready for the next step. Just download the Windows 8 Go Launcher Theme app from the Google Play Store and GO Launcher will automatically require you to install it. Press the Menu button on your home screen, and click Theme. Browse for the “Windows 8 Go Launcher theme,” and hit the Apply button to see the results.
Strictly speaking, it is not really the Metro UI launcher. But, then again, the tiles are all the same size and are arranged in pretty much the same way as in Android or iOS. Nonetheless, its clean and very minimal approach will almost certainly shine to fans of the Windows 8 genre.
Navigating through the homescreen feels like that on either the Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich stock launcher. The only thing notable about the theme is that most of your icons are changed into the equivalent Metro UI icons found in the original Windows 8 OS.
In a nutshell, the Windows 8 Go Launcher Theme from Seize Ent remains pretty much like Android. The only difference has to be the icons for every app you have. You might be expecting the real thing like rectangular and square-shaped app icons that are neatly arranged like Tetris blocks, but you may be disappointed with how it looks. If you really just want a simple alternative look for your Android stock launcher, then the Windows 8 Go Launcher Theme is a must-have. Download it for free on the Google Play Store.
