I have already shared a couple Windows 8 like customizer tool for Windows 7. They are some of me popular posts here. Seems like Windows 8 is one of the famous topic now! So I am now sharing another 8 like product here. It is Metro Sidebar. It has become clear that Windows 8 will have a new user interface called Metro after Microsoft demoed the product. There have been third-part development efforts to replicate this Metro user interface in Windows 7. It brings the Windows 8 Metro user interface in the form of a sidebar for Windows 7. This sidebar comes with five different colors (blue, red, black, orange and green), which can be changed manually to match your current wallpaper. The Sidebar contains shortcuts to your favorite browser (either, Firefox, Opera or Internet Explorer) and displays used, available and total capacity of your primary volume, time and date, user account picture, and operating system version. Metro Sidebar for Windows 7 is a freeware and portable sidebar with user interface similar to that of Windows 8 Metro UI shows User account options, Windows 7 Edition name you’re using, Operating System drive space details and you can choose your favorite browser from Opera, IE and Firefox from Metro Sidebar settings and it also will be shown on the Metro Sidebar on right side.
When you launch the Metro Sidebar setup, the installation wizard prompts you to select a browser and color for the sidebar. These options can also be changed later on by selecting Settings from the system tray.
A shortcut to the selected browser is displayed on the sidebar and the selected color is applied to the sidebar background. To change the existing color being displayed, move the right/left arrow buttons. An additional option at the bottom also allows you to automatically start the sidebar at Windows startup.
Download and extract the program’s archive to a folder and run the Metro Sidebar executable. Metro Sidebar Settings window appears where you can change background color of sidebar by choosing differently colored Windows logo, choose your favorite browser and click “Apply” button to save settings.
Metro Sidebar works on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
