Modern UI refers to the user interface design philosophy developed by Microsoft, concentrating on clean lines, oversized fonts and the display of uncomplicated information.

Modern UI wqs originally named "Metro UI" But a dispute over the name 'Metro' Changed it.

Originally, it was a clean style of user interface design where text was the focus of navigation. This could be seen in Windows Media Center and Zune.

Later, the Zune desktop application introduced clean, square tiles as a central theme of navigation, an idea which which later grew into "Live Tiles".

Now, Modern UI with Live Tiles is the main focus of the design of the Start screens of Windows Phone 7, Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
