I would think somewhere between "The Minority Report" and "Star Trek". Could be fun

Right now skinners are limited by what the software can currently do. A mockup woudl allow peole to see what might be done if the software was infinitely capable.

I think we should have team effort, only one person can have a great idea but imagine if we can work by team!

example:
we can setup team of 4 persons
that would affraid less people to participate and better ideas would come up at the end.

I don't know about the teams Idea, I don't play well with others...

Hmm, Paul, I have to interfere here...

I am suprized that there is not more of a response to this. I think If you are interested post, I would like to see it happen.

I would be interested, but I am only good in making other people's graphics look er, 'different'.
*sigh* I really need to learn to do graphics from scratch...

welllll....
when begin this?
The only thing that i miss on desktopx is the hotkey to show/hide the containers/objects on top.
Other think that i miss is on Windows shell: MacOS is more intuitive. I don't mean that the perfect shell must be like MacOS, but: it must remember the 'show way' on a folder, if you make a folder viewed as 'list', it must be viewed as 'list' when you open it (it will also remember last position). The Windows taskbar are better than MacOSX, so it will remain like now. The folders must have colorization (for control their contents. The desktop objects (icons) must be easy to customize (for example CTRL+J, select the image icon and 'Past' the image this is a great macos feature), and etc, etc... surelly there's a lot of people with other great ideas!
For the graphics... anyone have their preferences, so, it must be customizable, in a easy way to do.
It will be interesting if this idea of making the dream OS go. If you need a collaboration, you know, i can do something about graphics

sounds like the Enlightenment pager, the the rabidvwm.dll module for LiteStep or DVWM. it is already here

i think the point is to create something that can not be done in any software yet so the point is not to submit a theme but one or more fake screenshots. it will be really hard to "invent" something new. if i look at the comments above, hotkey and vwm features seem very limited in DesktopX, but they aren´t in other software (seems like payware isn´t that "superior").

OSX wasn´t that new. the Finder toolbar comes from the old MacOs and the Dock comes from NEXT.

also one can use Active Desktop with Flash to create something really different (Shinter does that).

sounds like a current creative block in Object Desktop development. contest could be fun anyways.

You don't have to convice me I said Im In. Lets do it.

Dear God no...
