We already know that Skype would come as a Metro-Style app in Windows 8 but, now, the concept design of Metro Skype for Windows 8 has appeared on internet. Although, not official design but, still the design look nice and gives a glance at how the official Metro-Style Skype would look like. The main design of the Skype Metro has been taken from Skype for ipad but, the interface is very similar to other Metro apps.
An individual from XgMedia has made a concept design of Metro-Style Skype for Windows 8. The Metro version of Skype is not much populated due to large space and gives the users more space to interact instead of other non-related things.
The login page of Metro-Style Skype making the Skype brand name more visible and bold.
The above image shows the recent conversations and contacts list as tiles in Metro view. The tiles design is very similar to that of Metro-UI.
The contact page of Metro Skype shows the most recent conversations along with the major profile highlights (just like the desktop version of Skype which shows the highlight on top of the contact page) on the left side. While on the other hand, complete profile information can be seen.
Call screen of Metro Skype, which shows the video on one side and the chat on the other side of screen. The quick buttons are on the top right corner of the screen instead of being inserted on the apps bar which opens up on swipe to the bottom or right click.
Last but not least, one of the most important feature of Metro-Style apps, Snap, which let’s you open two apps side-by-side. You can use Skype in snap feature which lets you video call and use the other apps at the same time.
Well, these were only the concept images of Skype Metro. The actual app may be different from this concept design but, still we get a glimpse of how the Metro Skype would look like.
There are no news about the development of Metro Skype. But, we know that the software giant, Microsoft, would surely integrate its most popular calling software to its brand new OS, Windows 8. But, we will have to wait for further news about matter.
