SatAM: Salvation 6

-= The Fait Accompli =-

I. A Secret Place

Smack!

A ragged swipe of four sharp claws jerked Tails' mind out of the past and into the current moment. He couldn't remember where along his trek, following Fiona through the wilderness, it was that he'd slipped away into his reverie again. He'd been thinking of Marr a lot -- far more than what he knew was good for him.

"Come on! Idiot!" Fiona was right in his face, looking more even more annoyed with him than was her custom. "I walk nearly a mile into the green alone and find you were standing here the whole time, mind up in the trees with the birds!"

"Uh," Tails sniffed, shaking his head free

Shelf 2by ~Sand-And-Mercury

Designs & Interfaces / Application Interfaces

Just a fun little mockup for a modern-day GUI concept. It doesn't really have anything in common with the old Shelf concepts I did last year. I won't go into too much detail, aside to explain a few little things:

The bar at the top is not a task bar, but rather a tab bar, housing both tabs and controls for any window that's in focus. The idea was to eliminate almost all chrome from all windows, leaving a ton more room for content.

The toolbar at the bottom of the File Browser would only be visible upon mouseover (think a la Picasa Viewer or Quicktime X

The dock only houses the trash can, notification icons and unmaximumized windows. It doesn't hold launchers.

That big menu on the right slides out when you hit the 'Shelf Button' in the top right of the screen.

That orange button up the top is the 'App button', working the same way as the spanner in Google Chrome, or the app button in Opera and (the upcoming version of) Firefox.

This wasn't really made with any particular goals in mind and wasn't thought through all that much. I'm sure upon close inspection one would find all sorts of potential usability issues. The main thing I wanted to do was just mock up a pretty looking workspace that would be fun to work with -- after all, as we've learned from Apple, people will tend to overlook poor design decisions if they look really, really, really nice
