| The current buttons are really boring and ugly, as are the default fonts. Not to mention the inconsistent text sizes across fonts. I consider myself to have a good taste in design, but what's really limiting me is the fact that there are no fonts other than the three default boring ones. I want rounded corners, gradients, shadows, etc., what's preventing Roblox from creating these features? |

Metro has none of these, and looks better for it |

I've been quite able to make beautiful designs without CSS style modifications.
I don't quite see why you can't do the same. I mean, yes it would be _nice_, but it's not _required_.

| Doing such would pretty much force ROBLOX to make a fully fledged GUI program, which isn't really the scope of ROBLOX. Read the latest blog post relating to ROBLOX's response to the advanced mesh thingies. |

| I like metro's look as well. I think emess is confusing metro and windows 8. |

@Causticity
Although I like the idea, the current GUI system starts lagging very quickly.
Minimalistic GUI designs are much better for games on Roblox... Thought better image quality would be nice for tabbed interfaces. |

| I meant to do it just to do it, to be able to create the current ones faster, and I guess it would be easier. |

@ArceusInator I know what Metro is. And I hate it. For phones, tablets, and computers, there's a severe lack of customization. As in, this is worse than even iOS in terms of customization. Icons are boring, and Segoe UI (Metro's default font) is lifeless and boring. |

So... don't use them? |

Yeah, I read it.
You aren't a robot. If you don't like something don't use it. |

| "severe lack of customization" and " consistent design language" are two sides of the same coin. Either you have one, or the other. A super-customizable UI is an inconsistent UI. |

A good example: MySpace
A good example of complete customizaatino and still retaining people: Tumblr
Because tumblr has a regular interface everyone looks at, so no one bothers to look at the customized (possibly eye straining) blogs.
Lesson: Let people customize, but dont' let other people see it. |

@nxt Metro doesn't work well with computers, they're better on websites. But it's ugly. I want to use Holo, that is beautiful. |

> Metro doesn't work well with computers
I think a better description is that Metro isn't mouse-optimized. To a certain extent that's true.
Holo looks pretty good too (although is presumably also heavily touch-optimized). Backing up my earlier point, where are the rounded corners? |

@Original Title;
ROBLOX does have an consistent GUI. It's based on semi-transparent blacks and triangle-istic corners or rounded corners.

@NXT I meant that I prefer doing Holo than Metro, although I'd like the rounded corners. |
