Description AboutThis is a concept for the interface of the general Windows window, in this case the browser. It old and not quite so relevant anymore. It is lacking some stuff and some buttons like a bookmarks one but I think anyone smart enough can you still get the idea.FeaturesCleaner buttons: all the buttons (back, forward, close) look the same and were placed together. This makes much more sense, unlike different looking buttons placed apart when they are actually all related.

Customizable: the buttons you want in the order you want go on there, and there are many of them to chose from. You can even merge buttons (like the reload and stop ones) into one. There would also be many options for their size to please everyone. And if you want to separate your stuff into two lines because your screen in not wide enough, you can do it. It's your choice.

More: there are other details. The size of the URL bar changes according how big the URL is and as you're typing too, the htp://www. is hidden, the drop down arrow for the back and forward buttons is gone because you can right click and you get the same thing (but it can be changed), the program icon was removed because there is no need for it...SupportThe background is by PaulEnsane and can be found here .

I hope you like this concept. Please leave feedback!

Too big and tabs could be in titlebar. Also, main buttons should be in left with usual order (Back, Forward, Reload/Stop) so people don't have to get used to new stuff.

I love this idea; the browser is very clean and modern, the tabs are neat and orderly, and the long URLs are brought down to a manageable size.
I have one question though: would the URL bar expand when you wanted to type in a different address?

Yes. Taken from the author comments: "The size of the URL bar changes according how big the URL is and as you're typing too".

Thank you very much!

I really like the idea of saving space by getting rid of the URL bar. Still ...

1) What about browser tabs? I think most people have tons of tabs open at any time...

2) Plugin icons. Chrome for example puts a lot of add-in related icons in the URL bar. Merging the URL bar and the Windows "non client area" (ie the titlebar) would probably make it difficult to add more icons

Nonetheless its a good idea! I like it...

1. The browser tabs are there, you probably didn't saw it. They are in the bottom left corner. You can see the current tab and the new tab button with the default Firefox look. I just like to keep my tabs at the bottom, that's why you probably missed it. I also made the empty bar space transparent as seen in my other concept.

2. As I said in my long comments, if you don't have enough space you can put those things in two lines. I have a wide-screen so I could have it all in the same line...


Thanks a lot for the comment. Very appreciated.
