is there any support for developing Desktop applications in Metro style (similar to Microsoft Zune) in Visual Studio 2012?
The examples of some of the popular desktop applications are, word processing applications such as Microsoft Word and WPS Office which are designed to edit the textual content, gaming applications such as Minesweeper and Solitaire which are used for entertainment, web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Chrome and ...
Desktop applications are software programs run locally on computer devices. They aren't accessible from a browser, like web-based apps, and require deployment on a personal computer or laptop.
No you can't (out of the box). What you can do is use WPF with a library that implements Metro style for desktop apps like :
MahApps.Metro
Elysium
APEX (screenshot from here)
Metro Toolkit
Or rolling your own by customizing the WPF controls (Templates).
