Here's how to add shutdown and restart to modern/metro UI.

First grab Obly tile from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899865

Step 1, In the first box, name your tile anything you like or leave blank.

Step 2, In ''program path'' navigate to, Computer\C:\Windows\System32\shutdown

Step 3, In ''program arguments'' copy and past this ''/s /t 0'' for shutdown, without the quotes, if you want restart use ''/r /t 0'' without the quotes.

Step 4, Find your self a png image you want to use and make a copy in paint an re-size the copy to 30x30 pixels. this way you have two images, one for the main button and one small for the small icon when pressing the ''-'' sign in the bottom right corner for all icons to show, you can name you tile group by using the ''-'' in the lower right corner and then right click the tile and hit ''name group''
Now add the images (There is a limit on size, especially for the small 30x30, mine are not working at the moment so need to probably make my own in paint)

Step 5, Pick your background colour.

Step 6, Create tile

That's it, all done, I am sure there is a way for sleep or hibernate, but not sure of the commands.
Enjoy :)

All I did was to create a shortcut....

C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 5 -c "Machine is shutting down..."

and then chose an icon for it and place it into....

C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

and then it was in the UI.

For me...



for sleep I just use the power button as I have assigned that for the sleep function.
