Photoshop Windows Rome!

[Ambroos]

I dreamed about Windows Rome :D

When i woke up i thaught where have i heard that name before and now i've seen this forum and thaught: There it is...

it looked a little olive-green with a taskbar on the top, new 3d-ish aero effects and ...

[huFFamOOse]

Here's my go. I'm sure there's some more stuff I can add to it.

I envisage absolutely no taskbars, instead you press the windows button and it pops up over everything with nice sliding animations in a circular fashion. Maybe even have a new mouse hardware with an ipod like wheel (but smaller) to scroll around the menus. No min max close, instead you press the button and use mouse guestures.

A description would be great, but it looks interesting. If the 'start' button faded in when you did a gesture or something, that'd be great!. The center of the screen is an ideal place to have it!

This actually is the first thing that's made me wish there was a prototype to try! Very cool idea!!

[Ambroos]

It's cool indeed, only thing i worry about are those logoff and shutdown buttons. Think i would click them by accident a lot of times!

But i looooooooooooove the mouse gestures thing, but what will the average consumer think of that :D

I did think of doing a little mock-up in flash of the navigation, but I dont think it'd look that good. All menus/toolbars will only show up when you activate the windows button so the shutdown buttons shouldn't get in the way really. I know they look a bit out of place, this isn't Vista it's Rome baby!

The mouse guestures would probably show up with little animated icons when you hover over the button on the windows. I'd guess, click drag down to minimise, click drag up to maximise etc.

I dunno where minimised programs would go though, maybe docked at the sides or some kind of advanced alt-tab interface. It could also go on one of the main menu as there are 4, being the red, green, yellow and blue. Likely to be Programs, Control Panel, Something Else and an advanced Run box which would be extremely powerful for more advanced users to type in quick commands. It'll be like a linux console but with a twist of explorer maybe creeping in.

wher can I get photoshop please email "[email protected]"

[digitalsoft]

buy it. or trial...

[obsolete_power]

Wow you guys have some great ideas :) but I doubt the start bar will disappear in Windows Rome. Windows Vienna should feature the start bar replacement.

I really like this concept but i was wondering if anyone really uses the documents and music features offered by windows?

personally i have never used it.

it would be nice to see some featured build into the wallpaper.

where when you change a wallpaper the programs rearrange so it looks like something.

I have added to this idea. sorry about the rubbish but I did it in a rush, basically the difference, is a show esktop on the top left and the running programs rather than being at the bottom are in an abject dock on top of the startbar. As I said I was in a rush so I used pain so it looks not good but you get the idea.

Ooh, I like that :-)

It's a bit like Fluxbox works, but much more graphical ;)

For whoever was askng for ribbons. Here is mz idea. Based upon Office 2007, I would expect that Office would merge with windows XP and WMP has and paint. That way the ribbons could be changed together. I have produced this along with some icons.

Icon wise I have create a new.

Computer

Network

Music

Pictures

Videos (Pitures and videos are seperate though it would look ok to use the pictures icons for Pictures and Videos if you are keeping with the Vista thing.

Please click on the thumbnail to view. I have done it in Macromedia Fireworks I that is hat I have but it is stil roduced (or at least supported) by Adobe.

I have saved it ask a jpg as this site has an upload limit of 2mb and in fireworks ping this file wa around 4.5mb

The Webcam represents Videos, The MP? Player represents Music andthe Camera represents Pictures (and Videos)

Very sexy. Reckon you could make the ribbon glassy or something? It looks too...big...

[MadnessRedx]

I'll try and make the ribbon "glassy" though i feel that that us gettin ga bit more vista like. I have been creatin gsome icons too hich I wil lupload.

[strekship]

I think the ribbons look better without glassyness.

[MadnessRedx]

unless anyone has any objections I willl make to visual styles, glass and not glass

tw , does anyone know how to get glass for windows vista if your gfx card isn't good enough

there isn't a way to do it if your card is unable to do it.

ok thankyou

[Sammyinnit]

These concepts look more like the interface on a games console rather then an operating system for a computer.

If microsoft employed any of these concepts, I wouldnt even pirate it, let alone buy it.

[family guy]

added even more, i really like this version. i think it would be some kind of first logon screen.

Maybe something like this could be done as like a gadget type thing? I think it would be awesome to have, and it seems like it would be pretty feasable. But I wouldn't know exactly since making gadgets isn't really my thing.

I'm installing photoshop again for this, its brilliant.
