Nothing can stop you from adding it as a option down the line

Thanks for the explanation, Alex. It's a shame that shell extensions are so inefficient; if I have to choose between "works well" and "looks slick" I'll pick the former every time.

To be honest, I wasn't 100% comfortable with the arrow not having any text next to it, but I doubt that any designer ever is 100% satisfied with their design. You always want to keep tweaking it to make it perfect, but there are time constraints (plus, we can't exactly afford Johny Ive here).
 
I decided to ship it and listen for feedback, and based on that feedback I've slightly modified the pool options menu.
 
It looks like this now:
 

 
Let me know what you think.

Very cool.
 
That APC box looks familiar (I think).
 
I have a APC UPS that I've hacked to use 4x deep cycle marine batteries to provide 3 to 4 hours backup for my entire office (instead of the built in Li-Ion which would only last 15 min.).

Thanks for your feedback, I'm definitely listening.
 
While strictly speaking this is not a "Metro UI", I agree, it is similar.
 
I thinks that one of the major problems with Metro is discoverability, it is nearly non-existent. If you're not familiar with it then you don't know what to click and where. Other than that, it's pretty neat.
 
So I'll try to add more "discoverability" to DrivePool to make it easier to use.
