Comment on FileExplorer.png by UltimateRT
I like the look of this. Should be possible to make into a visual style as well, if you wanted to. It would require some custom applications to place the navbar and back/forward buttons where they are located in the mockup tho.
Thanks! I agree about the apps, but that would make a hit in performance and responsiveness, I'd rather go for a new/modified shell and new file explorer.
