Quick Shot Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I would like to contribute in some way. I found a nice wallpaper that would look great as default! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binny1070 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 This is a great idea and it is too bad that people can not see this for what it is, this is a oppertunity for people to show what they wnat to see. I hope this keeps going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFusion Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hey! Come on, everybody! This is a very very good idea. :yes: In fact, somebody should make a website precisely for this. Maybe with forums very well organized for each portion of the OS, so users can focus on single pieces. If I only had good broadband, I would host the site myself! :turned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger.Girl Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 God. This topic will go nowhere. Why? Because we got a bunch of dumbasses who can't act maturely and can't see we are not in the jokes forum. Good job on ruinning a great idea. Would you expect anything less? :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osirisX Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I like that idea with the scroll wheel that brings up applications. But how about just icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RvXtm Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 WinRome ...hm.....brobably the concept of an os and an UI will be others....and it's hard to think even at vienna....or the one called "fiji" ...maybe there will be no desktop at all ...think about it ...what will be the year of the os after vienna ...? The whole PC thing could be an old concept ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalx Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 a start of an idea i had i need to think of the 360 dock style thing that was an idea for longhorn how i could do it lol.. if anyone wants to work off what ive done feel free.

gs2k1 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Maybe something to think about... now.. 1280x1024 is getting more and more standard, but wouldn't be 1900x1200 a standard by the time of Windows Rome? so..a more Wide-Screen solution, witch offers more horizontal space could be interesting... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick Shot Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Here you go. I found a better resolution picture of something that has to do with Rome. I hope that helps :D LINK FOR ROME WALLPAPER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafu Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) My Idea: I call it Float. Uses a similar concept to desktop widgets, everything is movable and users can add or elements as required. The Windows Orb is represents the start menu. The elements above represents programs that are minimized The element above that represents common locations in the OS, and the status of the wireless connection Edited September 14, 2006 by Snafu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambroos Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I like float alot! Only the start button is a bit too large. The window borders and transparant background are really nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick Shot Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 a few days of haveing Nero installed funny. but out of topic. anyways.. i was thinking about the start button and the start menu the button is a little big the start menu should slide out from the side and look similar to 'float' :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted September 14, 2006 Author Subscriber² Share Posted September 14, 2006 HOLY CRAP! I love that concept!!! I wasn't expecting anthing that good for at least another few months lolol, dude awesome! My suggestion is to make the windows flag/button a bit smaller, and maybe adjust the right hand links so they arnt just > but more graphical... other then that, fantastic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafu Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Thanks Guys, I never really expected it to turn out so well, I'm sort of a noob with photoshop. I will continue to make changes and add things. Tomorrow I'll upload the PSD file, and let you guys have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osirisX Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Float is very nice. But I think there would have to be a new way of handling the Start menu. Also, what about when someone maximises a window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick Shot Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Float is very nice. But I think there would have to be a new way of handling the Start menu. Also, what about when someone maximises a window? i came up with an idea for maximizing other windows. when you maximize another window, the current one that was on top will cascade on the side so it can still be seen. i wish i knew photoshop. it would be so much easier.

simsie Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Sorry i can't photoshop, but my idea is to group programs into revelant sections. When clicking the orb a window is opened with serveral forks games, office, utils etc. Then when one is clicked on tha fans out etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted September 15, 2006 Author Subscriber² Share Posted September 15, 2006 Simsie - that was what i was trying to do in my pic, something similar along the lines of that blackcomb video released in 91... Personally i would love to see the idea of the "orb" that fans out into the relevant groups/programs but done in a cool new exciting way. Also something that i really wanna see pushed is msn contacts on the desktop, as for me personally, 50% spent online is chatting/working with them, so to have them there where sharing occurs seemlessly with a contact online (much the same was as "my sharing folders" under live messenger would be excellent. eg: click a contact, open a convo with them, have a button on that window to open a secured shared folder, data is transferrd seemlessly between client computers over a SSL connection... just another idea atm :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
