sneak preview from the lab...
Published on July 9, 2007 By Dr W - Fences Support In OS Customization
Sneak preview of a potential new technology for the desktop that's brewing - Icon Organizing. Create areas on the desktop that apply a customizable graphic effect to the background, resize/move the areas and have the icons go with them, icons can auto-arrange independently within the areas... can choose a specific area for new icons to go to automatically, fold up areas, show a 'details' explorer view of a subfolder as a desktop area...etc etc.



What do you think!

Other than being able to skin it, isnt it basically.. a folder? Like I have a folder on my desk with all my shortcuts called "appz".. whats the diffence?

Definately curious tho

It reminds me more of Program Manager from Win3.1 (which was one feature I liked)

no news currently, busy on other projects. but little bits of progress get made in times inbetween hah and yes it can be reminicent of ProgMan at times ha.

vStyler: like a folder, but whose icons are readily available for use. if you have vista, this program may even allow you to have the contents of a folder show up on the desktop in one of those areas in icon or detailsview however you wish...you can then easily minimize it back or fold it up/etc. Quick access is the keyword

Latest update, just to show a tiny gleem of life:

"JMB1984: I added scrolling for when the little areas overflow Scrolling areas on your desktop...so now you can jam it with even more garbage than EVAR"

Side note, man does actually playing out this concept have wayy more complications than one may have thought from just looking at it. But, that doesn't stop me from using it every day. (Muahahaha ) It will reach a shareable point one day I promise

Add a hotkey or hotspot to hide a specific or all groups and you're set. Of course, at that point it's almost a . . . dockMy thoughts also, I guess if you don't like ObjectDock this would be good for you. If you don't like OD though, where are you located...I'll send a couple gorillas over there...

There are people who don't like Object Dock?  Lucky they're still alive.
