     Win 8 METRO 2.0 is the next version of my Win 8 Metro. it's more simple, more intuitive, more beautifull and less complicated than the version 1.0 (yep, i swear :)) . of course done using only VB6, you can personalize all things, wallpaper, color, button style. by activating edition mode, you can drag button (or more than one), resize it, use mouse to select many button at the same time (same style of selection using in rell windows 8 8 metro interface) ...etc you'll find some greate fonction, you can learn some basic function you can also use a search fonctionnality to find some files/folders existing in desktop or in the start menu (use text search zone at the buttom on the left) the interface is awsome and very similaire to the reel Windows 8 Metro on the other hand, the program need two more things, is someone can help, it will be realy awsome : 1- when draging one or more program (on edit mode), it will be amazing if someone can add fonctionnality to move other icons in real time to empty space for new location of draged icons (i hope it's clear, sorry for my bad english :) (bref, like in Windows 8 Metro dragdrop) 2- if someone can add something like scroolbar to have more icons event if the visible area is empty finally, happy coding to all of you Best Regards

hi justzain

thanks for your comment

actually, i've tested the app in windows xp, vista, seven and also windows 8 :), and the line you specified never give the error !!

the "on error resume next" is there to avoid any error. anyway, you can simply disable the line :"If Frm.Controls("pM") Is Nothing Then" and his "end if"

i dont remember why i used this condition but wihout it the program work fine, so, juste remove the "if" condition and test again

Thanks & Regards

Does not work with dual screen...
When I move my cursor over the second monitor, I receive an error message n°6. It occures in the form frmMain in 'Sub Timer2_Timer"

-> X1 = p.X * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
