It really depends on each individual application's customizability options. Word 2016 has its own border and it's not a Metro app, but its borders surely look like those of Metro apps. Yet somewhere (can't remember where for the life of me, maybe it was here in this very thread), someone mentioned to use the aero GUI to do it I haven't been able to succeed in that regard. One more thing, I've been trying to get the aero stripes onto the taskbar, but nothing works - I suppose it's because aeroglass on win10 doesn't affect the taskbar. Anyone have a name? Would love to follow them or read about them. I wonder if it was a single person who came up with the idea or a team did (even though it's likely the initial seed was sown by one person whether there was a group later on or not). Nonetheless, Aero Glass is by far the most beautiful UI ever designed. Google seems to be the only one that truly found some sort of a balance by using best of flat and best of skeuomorphism, though they are still a bit boring. In fact, I wrote a significant amount of this entire phenomenon in my thesis recently. It makes sense on smaller devices but on a desktop it's just ugh. I can't understand why they shifted to such a highly-flat design. Is that because Word 2016 also uses its own forced window borders? Other metro apps like Settings are using the aero glass border just fine. I just noticed how the aero glass doesn't affect some apps at all, such as Word 2016. Indeed, Windows 10 has by far the strangest UI. I was worried I might have broken something but seeing as it's a consistent effect and more importantly, it does not diminish the actual clickable area of the buttons when they become warped, I can live with it. Ah I see, in that case, all well and good.
