I want to create a Windows 8 Store App style of application (Metro UI) but my development platform is Windows 7. I don't need the Windows Store integration I just want the application UI to be based on the Store App Metro Style. I would like the application to be able to be run in Windows 7 or Windows 8 and eventually Windows RT on Tablets. I want the application to have touch screen ability by default and use Metro Style Controls and be full screen. The application UI design will be based on the Guidelines Design guidance for Windows Store Apps. But unlike a Store App the application would be installed via traditional installer on Windows 7.
I really like the Store App Template in Visual Studio 2012 but it is only available if you are developing in Windows 8.
I am assuming since the Store App is a WPF or XAML based application that I would start with a WPF application? What is the best and easiest way to do what I want?
