This is my concept for a Touch-screen (Tablet, or Wall Panel) Album chooser for the next version of windows. By that time I expect most displays will have some kind of touch or Multi-touch as that seems to be the technology everyone is dribbling over today.

In my Video (yes Video) The finger touch is represented by the White circle, presses are represented by the circle gaining and dropping a shadow. (Yes I did steal the idea from the iPhone Videos on Apple.com)

This is just a quick 30 minute mockup. Background is from some artist I'm not sure which, the icon for the CD is from Vista and the Album art is just my Album art from some music I have. The song that begins to play at the end is displayed in the Video.

And yes this was made on a Mac haha.. I'm sure all the windows designers use Macs :p (I kid I kid)

No doubt ;) But it was only a 30 minute thing to show how a touch screen interface could be done and nicely. Having to keep everything visible at once since with fingers you can't have "Hover over display" like what MCE has today. It's only a quick 30 minute mockup as I said above. No controls or text on it or anything.

For those interested, here's the link to download the PSD for the login screen.

Clicky!

This helps a lot. Honestly, it isn't that hard to implement this into Windows Vista. You would just have to change a few images.

Unforunately, I don't know everything about modding the login screen, so I have to look into it more...

Okay, here is my idea...

With the vertical OR horizontal sidebar, scroll like was said before, but also have like categories that you could switch with the mouse too (buttons). My scroll wheel "tilts" kinda (don't know how to say) left and right and moves the horizontal scrollbar when apparent on a website. Maybe that could change from preset folders or categories like Media Software System Shutdown. My mouse also has the middle click button when pressed down, so that would select the item highlighted. Sorry this isn't described much better.

The pic may help..

Sorry I didn't feel like booting up my Photoshop or Fireworks.. I am really tired. But I knew I would forget this idea if I didn't put it down somewhere.

*It would also be much prettier than my mockup in Paint :p

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
