Before the concept: The idea.
After the idea: The concept.
After the concept?

...this is where mockups come to life.

May I present to you Vista Explorer, the first step into true VistaŽ emulation!

user posted image

This is where concepts bloom; My first publically released gadget, created in DesktopX. This simple standalone application presents the sleek, elegant glass theme of Windows VistaŠ!

I need coders, or experianced DesktopX designers to help me with features! If you think you can help, PM me, or email me at andrew-gw@hotmail.com.

I need:
-Address to appear in address bar/title bar
-Preview pane/menu bar to change colour according to folder type
-Icons to change in title bar/address bar/preview pane
-Status information to appear on preview pane

*UPDATE (0.1.42)*
-Created separate IE7/Explorer files
-Updated preview pane
-Added menu bar
-Moved IE7 status text to status bar

Be specific. This is a beta release, and I need to know what could be better! Currently I need menu bar, and icons on address/search bars. I think that's all...

Not quite sure wink.gif .

@kiall:to install it to work with your main explorer navigate to C:/Windows(WinNT)/Sytem32 and find explorer.exe and rename it to explorer.exe.bak(incase something goes wrong)then just drag the vista explorer.exe into system32 and there you go!
