The MetroProgressBar is an alternative progress bar with a different indeterminate style. Instead of creating a normal ProgressBar use:
<mah:MetroProgressBar Width="250"
Margin="4"
Maximum="100"
Minimum="0"
Value="42" />
or
<mah:MetroProgressBar Width="250"
Margin="4"
IsIndeterminate="True" />
Its indeterminate state looks like a ProgressRing but not circular.
