After donations from Derry Shribman, adding to a total of 550€, there is a request for an Android-styled approach.
This will be added via a theme (See also #31) and other programs. More information will follow, but here a list received by mail:
I think the Android experience can be broken up into the following apps:
Home screen app: equivalent to the WinXP "desktop" app: its the shortcuts to apps (favourites) and widgets layed out, and you swipe left-right to move between the screens.
App draw app: Opened by sliding down the home screen. Its like Opening Start->Program Files, and seeing the full list of applications installed. (The homescreen/desktop only has partial). You slide left-right to move between them.
Top status bar app: The bar with the time, battery, active services and features indication (today in your WinXP its bottom task bar with the clock and the language). Swiping it downwards opens it to more settings, and a settings icon that clicking it gets you into the detailed settings app.
Detailed settings app: settings app. Like your WinXP settings app, but in an Android/iphone style.
3 button emulation: FUTURE. Will be needed to work nicely also on iphone and desktop browsers.
Soft keyboard: FUTURE. Will allow creating keyboards in JS, and giving the user his same "OS" feeling, no matter on which mobile or desktop he opens the OS.
App store: FUTURE here you can search for the the app and "install" it into your app draw and homescreen.
