Photoshop Windows Rome!


Recommended Posts

Saw this thread and couldn't resist giving it a shot. Nothing too fancy, still pretty Vista-esq, but I've made some subtle changes that I've thought about now and then.

The idea for the task bar would be similar to a gadget in the sidebar, you would get close/max/min buttons to the right when you hovered on the thumbnail.

The bottom bar would be completely configurable and replace the quicklaunch/All Programs menu. You can add links to individual folders/programs or create menus organized anyway you want(the rightmost two show this). The only thing I'm not sure about would be how handle a list of every program installed, maybe a right-click option that opens up a window?

These are not fake pictures (as you may know), but i think these would be the best for the ui of the new windows!

That would be a revolution! :yes: :woot:

  • 4 weeks later...

a newer version of my second version,

this time the start button is in a pressed state which displays the menus once pressed.

Very cool indeed. :cool: Will we get some more ideas for the rest of the UI? For example, would the start menu expand into more circles (or a bigger circle) to show all the programs and not just the most recent ones?

blimey forgot about this thread... um i wasn't sure if there was any point in going on with it, i was thinking more circles about the main circle, and the icons in the main circle being user defined menus... dont think that makes much sense lol.

I dont know how to use photoshop but here is my idea (if anyone is willing to reproduce it on photoshop go ahead)

- A clean desktop with the Windows logo in the middle.

- When mouse goes over the logo, a 360 degree program list with tabs shows out of the logo having stuff like my computer, programs, currently running programs etc.

- All windows except ones containing text are aero style.

let me be the bad guy here :p

why are you trying this glass transparency?

Its supposed that vista's sign is glass and not rome's.

Btw whole microsoft cant think anything better,what about us :p?

it need something pioneering and not glass effects.

ps.i am bit negative :p
