Description This is a mockup only (100% Photoshop) of some searches I do around an explorer.

Inspired by Ubuntu, Windows 7 and Firefox 4.0.

Most options are on the right-click.
the "+" is for "new folder"

The search bar can also work like on Ubuntu :
without clicking anywhere, you just begin to type the first letters of the file's name you're searching and all the letters will stay written in the search bar and the explorer will select the files with that same letters.

The "tabs" works exactly like on Ubuntu, it's an address bar where you can select the tab you want to go back where you want, you can also go back to your home folder (or computer, or what you want).

There is no scrollbar, everything is with the mouse, by pressing space your pointer turns into a hand and you can scroll by clicking and moving.
The navigation is not from top to bottom but from left to right, like it were different pages, like on the iPhone or the last Samsung mobiles (at least).
> I think it will be great with a touchscreen, better than top to bottom.

You can still change the page by clicking on the left or on the right of the window (on a small arrow that will appear when above).

Here, "Download" is hover and "Arkaleth.jpg" is selected.

I think that's pretty much everything about the explorer.

This is just so cool, light years ahead of what could even be possible today. *Sigh* If only... By the way, still waiting for that CAD attempt of fooSoft of yours

I only made them inside photoshop and never released them, I'm not sure they're worth it, but with a little search around dA I'm sure you cazn find something similar, and better hopefully

Something like "Ciment" or "Pry frente" for example (I use Ciment personally)

That is when I see that that I understand that engineers can't do design, but designers can. I love the concept, I don't need any manual to understand what is on screen and it's very sharp. Well done !

Fantastic design, honestly, I had to really think about any cons. It is definitly better than most other commercial file-browsers, but where is the hierarchy (C:Windows/System32/etc) displayed?

Ohhhhhh, I see. Apologies, I misunderstood.
I thought the tabs worked as they do in a browser, with each displaying a different area/pathway.

Cheers!

No problem In fact, thanks for your interest ! If you have imagine it in a way prove that you've question yourself on how that works (good things for me ^^), but also makes me think that it could be better ! (bad for the work but good for me ! ^^).
And I'm always searching for criticism on my work, different point of views, etc... It's the best way to make better works !

Well I think we have some similarities. I've always had a great interest in user-interface design, and I suppose that I really just collect experiences. Say by trying out an operating system just for it's UI (I've used about a dozen different OS's, and actively use about five). Point is, I find your work spectacular and fascinating. Keep it up!

I've received a proposal for a Rainmeter skin, I wait for it, but I have absolutely not the knowledge to port it to an actual OS. It was more made for research on OS and how to improve the explorer (or finder ^^).
Thanks

well, what about Soft OS? Couldnt you make a theme like that?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AlexandrePh In reply to etcoman [2010-09-21 20:07:44 +0000 UTC]

All the themes that are actually made are based on Aero, we only change the png inside the theme, sometimes we change some size or font, but we cannot move everything as we like, and here there would be a lot to change ! ^^

I possibly could play with the same feeling in a VS for 7, but for now I don't know how to change the background of the explorer to be transparent...

etcoman In reply to AlexandrePh [2010-09-23 18:09:04 +0000 UTC]

Actually, i only meant the PNG files. I think it would look nice to have an Aero them made like this, even though you cant move the parts of the window, its still visually nice

I don't know how far you can go, but if you can do something great then YES you can ! I'd be glad to see what you can do, I'm not familiar with rainmeter so I don't know all the possibilities, but it would be really great if you can make something like this
