Can’t get enough of the metro-style application? Previously we’ve written about the Windows 8 Metro Task Manager for Windows 7, Vista and XP. Today, we are going to look at other metro-style application, this time is the text editor.
Developed by Shane Gowland, MetroTextual is a metro-inspired text editor for Windows that is meant to provide basic text editing for users. It’s designed to be a visually appealing replacement for the Windows Notepad.
MetroTextual has a clean and minimalist interface. It is lightning fast at reading and writing text files because the application uses multi-threading technology. However, the application does not provide sufficient text editing options. There is the Word Wrap option, and you need to use hotkeys to carry out tasks like cut, copy, paste and undo. You can’t change the font or print the text.
In the settings, you can configure MetroTextual to always appear above other programs on the screen, plus there is a colour changer option that enables you to change the window’s colour.
MetroTextual is designed to work on Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP and Windows 2000 operating systems. Requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to run (version 3.5 will be even better).
