DEPRECATED
Repo no longer maintained
I made this library around 7 years ago, and there weren't a lot of options back then. It's 2019, and there's a lot of other options out there, but most importantly an official Microsoft Fluent design CSS library made by Microsoft. I highly recommend that you use that instead:https://www.microsoft.com/design/fluent/#/web
Overview
Formerly known as CSS3 Microsoft-Metro Buttons (CMMB)Inspired by Microsoft's Modern Design Language, I was in need of a metro-styled CSS3 button library. I wanted to make similar metro-looking buttons used by Microsoft (extensively used in their Microsoft Windows Azure website) So I've built a very small, simple and clean CSS3 library to deal with my problem.
Thus CSS3 Microsoft-Modern Buttons was born. Weighing in at a healthy 33KB (compressed, 5.5KB gzipped), it's a light-weight and easy-to-use CSS/JS library that uses CSS3 styles for button design. The library can also work with Twitter Bootstrap. The buttons are also cross-browser compatibile from IE8, to the latest version of Chrome, and Firefox so you don't have to spend countless minutes testing on different browsers.
My goal is to help developers out there shave off some wasted time building that metro-like stylesheet by providing them a library, a starter kit, a base on which they can build upon.
Demo and Documentation
http://ace-subido.github.com/css3-microsoft-metro-buttons has a live demo and the library documentation.Developers
LESS and SASS
LESS makes us write CSS much more like functional programming and it trains us to solve problems that way. I use wearekiss's SIMPLESS. To know more about LESS visit http://www.lesscss.org. To access the LESS and SASSfiles, download the "dsl-branch" branch.Though as of 1.1.0, I haven't found the time to do it with LESS or SASS.

Missing icon classes
You're missing some of the new bootstrap icons, which start at 144px y position (.icon-hdd -> .icon-fullscreen).
Thanks for this project by the way, perfect timing for a project which is using the new Microsoft style.

Dropdown click target
Nice work!
Just an idea: I think that when clicking the dropdown button, it should not only be the small pulldown arrow that triggers the dropdown menu to appear, rather the entire button surface should trigger it. I think that's somewhat of a design consensus?
Documentation needs a quick fix...
http://ace-subido.github.com/css3-microsoft-metro-buttons/getting-started.html
Under the description of files (2. Contents):
The sixth one down s/b changed from: m-buttons.css / m-buttons.min.css to m-icons.css / m-icons.min.css since these files are already mentioned above.
Otherwise an extraordinary effort. I am a total noob trying to build my first landing pad/countdown page and I really appreciate the extraordinary attention to good instructions and of course the package overall. Well done!

Buttons not barrier-free
Hi there,
first of all great buttons you made here, thank you!
I'm using the buttons (without javascript) via a-class for a sharepoint 2010 application i developed at a university in germany, and (besides some css-issues with sharepoint when using the minified css-version m-styles) they're working pretty fine. Just one thing I noticed and changed in my implementation:
For our environment, there's a need to have barrier-free "buttons" to work with, so if someone has problems with his/her eyes and can't distinguish the buttons only from their color, I added a slight padding-change to 13px 16px to active buttons. Just wanted to tell you about it, perhaps you could add a css-class or s.th. to make them barrier-free if you want.
Best regards, Dominik
Here's an example of what I mean, please don't worry about the language. Its groargh! (german) ;)
dropdown example work correct only with bootstrap.min.css
just git clone and try run dropdown example.
When try each click on "Setting" In firebug console show error message: "elem = document.getElementById( match[2] );"
No any icons like "Edit Profile", "Logout" shown
jquery-1.8.2 and 1.8.0 also
little mistake on documentation
Hey,
In the documentation page : http://ace-subido.github.com/css3-microsoft-metro-buttons/buttons.html, in the example to create large icon buttons using the big swap arrows, the code that you show contains a little mistake, it's not
but :
Missing the 'm-' !
and, thank for your work!
Add more color :)
Hi, the buttons is very useful! Thank a lot!
I think you can add more color in new version, like orange, yellow , brown ...etc
Now all of 5 colors are already very pretty, I hope you can make more color :)))
