Hi Paul, Thanks for reply.

"1. Use a second panel at the right-hand of the screen" and "3. Full-screen
apps would have 100% of _height_ but less width" is exactly what I'm trying
to do. But for the "2. Containing larger versions of those icons in the top
bar" - I'm not so sure what you mean. Please check out this video, it should
be help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB3qpxAu1f8

PS. The document you attached is really interesting. It's one of the feature
I was longed for. I'd really happy if it were to implement in the next
version. Let me read it throughly. How's the progress of this ?
PS2. Is there a good 2D vector animation like flash (I cannot use Adobe
Flash CS since I no longer windows user). So I can do better mock up than
modifying my own system.
