Description This mock-up is special because it is the Explorer. Refined and made up-to-date.

Details for this mock-up:
- Moved most ribbon-related options to the Explorer Hub (like the Edge's Hub)
- Explorer can have tabs now! Why they didn't put this on Windows still makes me question their work... 
- Quick Access renamed to Pinned (to match similar functionality on Office 2016)
- Quick Access Toolbar joined with folder tabs (similar to Edge design)
- Bottom bar design inspired by Office 2016
- Share ribbon tab options moved into a dedicated share button
- Homegroup icon uses the old share icon
- Background image available on Google Earth View

P.S.: The navigation bar doubles as a search bar too.

EDIT (4/15/17)
- Reduced navigation bar text size as recommended by RsrMusic
- Centered navigation icons

EDIT (5/12/17)
- Swapped the color options because black is life
- Big blue space changed into blurred transparency
- Refined bottom bar design
- Minor UI changes

EDIT (5/19/17)
- Explorer Hub icon changed to one of the new ones
- Minor UI changes

EDIT (8/1/17)
- Refined Acrylic to be more true-to-life
- Added a "Tiles" view just like OneDrive
- Added button for Recycle Bin on bottom-left side
- Minor UI changes
- Watermark added

EDIT (5/13/18)
- Added Sets stuff!
- Refined Acrylic (again)
- Moved and resized a few icons
- Changed the bottom bar design

The funniest part of all of this, that you actually made a concept 1000x times better than Microsoft will ever do ;3

Maybe a Tablet mode concept of this? With a ui more touch friendly ... that's would be great!

keep it like it is, it's a concept. but you should give a little more attention to the detail of scaling other than that it looks awsome. Love the idea!

the mockups are scaled to 125% for a 1080p display. It is my current laptop resolution config

it looks wonderfull dude! You should try to learn to code your own apps, who knows what happens
I'm typing from a surface pro 4 that's why and that's the only thing that bugged me. ^^

Quayledant In reply to RsrMusic [2017-04-23 09:11:48 +0000 UTC]

you mean UWP apps? Currently, I'm focusing on graphic design rather than coding but maybe I'll give it a shot.
