Hi everybody,
First congratulation for creating an wonderful project. I am not sure if this is the right forum to start this thread.. so moderators plz feel free to relocate it.
I feel you have hit a goldmine here with potential far beyond UMPCs. Let me come to point. I have seen many people use screensavers but then ultimately everybody changes to 'none'. It is useless, no body wants to run one of the cores at 40% for something which at most times no one will be noticing. Also many of my clients don't have high end specs to run good screen savers. In Origami Now I found a clean and useful interface...that can be used in any desktop/Plasma-media centre/ even in normal laptops... I would personally love to be informed about stocks, weather, so on. Yes vista sidebar does the same thing.. but origami is better. Much better. With Windows7 and touch capabilities around the corner what can be better than an origami now interface? Some changes that I propose are (apart from higher resolution stuff)
1. More tiles... Battery/ Maps/ Net usage/ Any taskbar information (Antivirus problem/windows update/download completed/recent files/perhaps even Media Player etc)
2. Ability to show multiple tiles on desktop (say 3 )
3. Ability to change tile component images at end user level (say change png of clouds/sun)
4. Animated backrounds (Akin to mediacentre)
5. Animated tiles behavior. (say Wheather tile becomes foggy/ water droplets drip during rain/ Mail tile visually fills up with unread mail)
6. Ability to lay tiles on desktop background
7. Ability to start like a sreensaver.
Well I have many more ideas but enough for a start. Once again congrats and good luck.
