that latest prefs shot is getting there. though there's no test button at all now! in the previous lighter-grey example the test button should have been at the bottom among the save/use/cancel buttons. and the screen mode info text should NOT have been in white boxes as that makes them look like editable text boxes.
as for borders and buttons i LIKE chunky borders all the way around my apps. using visualprefs my "current" program has a blue border and the "other" ones have a yellow border all the way round. I find this much more pleasing on the eye than the windows method of just changing the titlebar color.
i dont mind either way about menus at the top of the screen or contained within programs. how about it becomes a user option with the windows menu-in-programs defaulted to help newbies migrate :-)
and i LOVE LOVE LOVE the "amiga browser" mockup. i couldnt compute without windows explorer! though there is a LOT to be said about how nice the multitasking listers in Dopus magellan behave! so if the tree menu could be blinged on and off then that would be good, what with it popping out the side.
ooh! idea! opus style listers all over the workbench doing stuff and a treeview dock that is seperate and jumps to the location of the current lister. unless you lock it for drag copying.... how about you can drag the treeview around and stick it to other listers lol! then we get best of dopus Magellan listers and best of explorer all in one!
now all we need is for all file type icons to have mini icons built in for the listview modes
