It's very desktop-UI like, and they seem to try to run away from (or hide) similarities with a desktop PC environment.
Hope I've expressed it somewhat understandable (re-reading it, this message is somewhat messy  ). |
Thanks..
Well I didn't see it having to animate in any way so wouldn't really think it's an additional concept as such, just that when you click icon that the toolbar dissapeared to the single half icon and document then took up the space where the full toolbar was.
Personally I think that any UI should be designed from an efficiency and logic point of view, so long as the metaphors used work well it's all valid if you ask me..
Once we have unbricking I imagine we'll see more adventurous attempts at the UI made by the existing community based developers *fingers crossed*
