2012-07-11
hey guys it's tom warren from the verge just taking a cup Metron m which is basically a dream board theme for jailbroken iPhones so what you see is a similar to Windows Phone you've got the notifications down the bottom there and the controls for music at the top and there's also notifications for messages or phone calls and you can't swipe those away and but they will launch the sort of inbuilt apps so those some of the themes looks like Windows Phone and you can obviously see the Start screen to windows 8 here you've got live tiles at the top for music and Mail on the left there basically they will provide any sort of the default information from iOS and launching any of the apps will launch the default iOS app if you swipe down the tile you get options to move the tile around we can also unpin it from the start screen moving around you can pretty much move them up and down you can also change them the tiles from life to non-life and going back to desktop and you get a swipe on the right path which is very much like Windows 8 there's also an option to change the username or to actually lock the screen which brings you back to the lock screen here we can pair it with Windows Phone and as you've got the music options at the top and the date and time are very much in in a similar place and you get notifications down the button there as well so wiping into the Start screen you can obviously notice the differences between the two unlike windows 8 its implementation there's no app bar that you can swipe from the back bottom upwards if you have to touch the start button that will give you the all apps option which obviously you can then go and pin tiles back to the start screen or you can launch apps straight from there there's also a settings option that allows you to change the colors in the background here as you can change that from the default blue color down to green or orange and also on the charms bar there's a search function it just takes you into iOS search will just show you exactly how this charms bar works is very similar to the windows 8 experience you can get back to the desktop and you can swipe it from the right and you go straight back into the Metro user interface on Windows 8 is pretty much the same you can swipe them right and you get the start button and the air settings there you can also access a desktop pretty easily and swipe back other settings include the salt background picture that you can change here so you've got a few options there from circles and bubbles very again very similar to the Windows 8 Start screen and there's also an option to change some of the notification settings so you can change the default apps that provide those lock screen notifications ok so that was a quick look at met room for iOS which is available in the cydia store for jailbroken iphones at one dollar fifty
