We here at AskVG love the new Metro UI introduced by Microsoft in Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8. Its clean, minimal and easy on eyes.
There are so many 3rd party software and skins available which have implemented this Metro UI and we have shared many of them in past.
Today we are going to share a Desktop Sidebar for Windows Vista and 7 which provides Metro feeling on your Windows Desktop.
You can see the sidebar in action in following screenshot:
When you run "Metro Sidebar" for the first time, it asks you to select the background color and favorite browser. You can set them later as well using its system tray icon.
To exit the sidebar, right-click on its system tray icon and select Exit.
Since its the first version of Sidebar, it provides very limited functionality. We hope the developer will add more features and gadgets in future versions.
You can download it using following link:

UPDATE: It seems the software has been removed by the developer.
Thanks to our reader "Karl" for sharing it...
