This is an abomination. Do we honestly need a "framework" to use the background-color and float properties? Not to mention that the design here is very poorly executed, and as someone else mentioned the responsiveness doesn't even work. I'm not trying to be a hater or a downer, I just can't believe that this is the state of web design right now. As Gob would say, "COME ON!"

The greatest thing about this is that it is open source. You can add your own contributions: https://github.com/aozora/bootmetro

On the contrary, it may include a lot more than that but it appears not to.

Only if you ignore the various links to demos, documentation, etc.

Out of curiosity, how does Metro look to color blind people?

You can use e.g. this link and then select different types of color blindness via the popover on the right: http://colorfilter.wickline.org/?a=1;r=;l=9;j=1;u=aozora.git... In short: Metro looks different because it uses different colors. I guess this shouldn't impact readability or accessibility in most cases due to the use of simple, sharp icons and white text. But I guess the white text could result in problems whe…

Thanks for the information and the link, that is a really cool site! I'll make sure to use it on future projects just to make sure I'm not completely screwing over color blind people.

Deut. (red/green) here; it looks fine to me. In my case, most colour-blindness issues arise from poorly contrasting colours - given that most of the Metro style is white text on a solid bright/dark (not pale) colour I don't see many issues.

Sorry, but a frontend framework that claims to be responsive, but then has a demo that breaks down completely when resizing the browser is not really convincing to me. http://allidoiswin.se/_images/broken.png Idea is good, but implementation feels...unfinished to say the least.

So all projects on Github must be finished. Got it.
