BootMetro

BootMetro provides simple and flexible HTML, CSS, and Javascript for web apps that wants to use the "Windows 8 MetroUI" style, without the need to run on Windows 8. It is built on top of Twitter Bootstrap and HTML5 Boilerplate.

Features

The framework permit to create web applications with the look&feel of Windows 8 "Windows Store App" (ex "MetroUI" style). Maybe not ideal for internet web sites, the MetroUI style can be adopted for modern intranet web sites. I've choose to use as base the awesome Twitter Bootstrap framework, applying a set of customizations in pure css.

The framework integrate and extend the work first done by other great people:

Build from sources

Prepare your environment

Install Node.js and NPM (should come with)
Install global dev dependencies (Windows users should run it as administrator): npm install -g grunt-cli karma
Instal local dev dependencies: npm install while current directory is bootmetro repo

Build
