Awful...

I really hate the Metro UI. The minimize-maximize-close buttons look odd.

^^All I dislike, as you said, are the minimize, maximize, close button set. I also hate the arrow and the start button. At least depicted in Win 8 themes for Win 7. I also hate the arrow and the start button. I like the new login screen though.

hate is a strong word. I like it for being more creative than the aero basic clones.

Why do people dislike this? From the screenshots it looks good, clean and minimal. As you said. I maybe won't use this when I get Windows 7, but I'll be sure to at least try it.

@Pradeep
Using a custom Start Button means starting a whole other custom built Windows Explorer program. You could use Replacer to replace the explore.exe with a supplied one (if it's not in the archive you downloaded, look around the user's DevArt page) in the WINDOWS folder, although I wouldn't do it in multi-user computers...

|You could try using UxCore instead of patching...
|The WallPaper, you might have to search on your own... Try here (http://www.askvg.com/download-top-10-unofficial-windows-8-wallpapers/)
|The start button should be in an explore.exe file; use Replacer to replace the explorer in the WINDOWS folder...
|The profile picture near the clock is achieved by a program (http://www.askvg.com/get-windows-8-look-like-user-picture-tile-avatar-in-notification-area-of-windows-7/)
|The Logon Screen also has downloaded separately here (http://www.askvg.com/get-windows-8-like-date-and-time-display-on-windows-7-login-screen/)
