Get Windows 8 Metro Start Menu On Windows 7 Using Newgen

Windows 8 logo for website
Windows 8 Logo

As our readers will know, Windows 8 Developer Preview was released yesterday. This version of Windows 8, as suggested by the name, is meant for developers who wish to develop Windows 8 apps in the future. It is not the complete version of the OS that will be released sometime in 2012.

While we�ve already written an easy to follow guide on how to install Windows 8 in VirtualBox, but there are plenty of people who want to, but would rather not try out an incomplete OS. Such people can get a slice of the Windows 8 action with Newgen: a Metro style launcher for
Windows Vista and Windows 7. Previously however, you could simply use Mosaic or Eight, which were great alternative for Newgen but they weren�t that good in terms of looks back then.
Developed by speaker60 and 1000MrCasper and released on the open source project community CodePlex, Newgen aims to bring the ultra-Metrofied Start menu to current desktop PCs running Windows Vista or 7.
From CodePlex:

Newgen is an application that brings the new Metro UI to your desktop. It is a set of live widgets that shows some content from the web and some from your PC.
Newgen supports WPF, HTML5, and HTML widgets.

Features :

  • Support for HTML widgets
  • Launch your favourite apps and webs in one click
  • Customize as you want
  • Switch to your opened apps, in just few clicks
  • Get Windows 8 Metro UI to your desk
  • Play your videos and music, view your pictures without opening them
  • Get your tweets, mails and weather reports in front of your eye, just sitting
  • Provides easy-to-use API for Widget developers
  • Get updates from us without navigating our site

  

We�ve personally tested the application and can confirm that it mostly works as claimed. It takes some tedious work setting up exactly as you want, but since it is a new app, it is to be expected.
After you�ve got the app installed, you launch it from the Start menu on your PC. On launching, you are treated to a very good-looking Metro style Start menu where you can add tiles, widgets and direct links to websites of your choice. They can be added by calling up the Start Menu (left-click on the right edge of the screen) and then right-clicking, which will show up options for you to add said items.
The transitions and overall UX is similar to what Microsoft offers with Windows 8�s launcher though, obviously, Newgen isn�t as full-featured as the real thing. However, there are plenty of settings you can tinker around with in order to customize your experience.

If you�re interested, you can give Newgen a try by downloading it from the link embedded below.
