Today I started this Finder that use almost no resources !!! 
Use your explorer.exe
so you can show thumbnails :rule:
drag and drop
show/hide icons
Have some bugs ...and I need Kol's permition to release this beta because I mod his Msstyle :bow:
Need to translate to english
and need to find a way to make this less dificult to edit >.
My english sucks .... !! 
wow! looks soooo goooood!
:bow:
you, my nonenglish speaking freind, have made my day.
:bow:
The back/foward/etc buttons seem a little too spaced out, i would like to see thoes put together a little more tightly. Also i hope its all custimisable
this looks like a good app, and i am anxiously awaiting the release
Nice (Y)
that's cool. btw [edit=unless] kol's modded theme is part of explorer.exe you don't need his permission. many of us already have brushed themes, anyway.

He wants the finder to look like the brush theme at all times, that is why he is skinning it himself rather than leaving it to Windows. First off, if you use images not made from yourself, you should always get permission. It is a moral rule and a rule amoung these forums. Second of all, after disclosing the fact that he used another artists images, not to mention a respectable artist amoung skinning, then yes he should. Do not encourage ripping others works. KOL gained permission from the origional authors to create his themes and others should show the same towards him.

i'm sorry. i was thinking about something else. i meant to say unlesskol's modded theme is part of explorer.exe you don't need his permission. sorry again.
[edit] oh btw i don't think kol got support from the original authors of panther aqua (apple computer). if he asked apple then they would've got mad at him for even asking. i'm sure he used screenies of osx.

It's OK. I am just protective of others works around here.

maybe they should make you an admin for that. :canadian: btw so no flame war (or at least i think the definition of a flame war is fighting from a small mistake or difference in opinion with flaming) starts, post edited btw does anyone know why :canadian: is :-canadian: (dash is there so it isn't turned into an emoticon)
GREAT!!, are the buttons obtained from the shell or are they built in in the proggie? (back, forward and so on), any chance they could be masked with yztoolbar to maintain the whole look and feel of everyones computer?
@Wizard, whatever happened to purple?!?!

The lack of purple represents the occasional absence of myself. I am not at full capability to help all the time. Don't worry the Purple Prince will be back.
I can see everything is part of a bigger plan my friend...
/me sighs in relief and says in a mantra manner "The purple prince has not forsaken us"

Good to hear that (Y)
And another one - (Y) - for xweslex for this new hope he brought to us. I hope that icons in the panel on the left won't be as hard customizable as in alilm's Finder. (that was a hell )
i'm kind of confused - is this a hack on explorer.exe or a program that runs within explorer.exe?
also are the buttons and shortcuts functional - or are they just eye candy? for example when clicking on one of the icons, does it take you to drive X or to the control panel? because if that is the case, it would be really awesome.
visually though it is quite nice 
i'm surprised i'm the first to see this: the titlebar buttons and icon are in the wrong positions. the buttons are in this order: yellow-green-red on the right side but they should be red-yellow-green on the left side. the icon is supposed to be in the middle next to the title text although you did say you took these from an msstyles so that's how they are in msstyles.

please, don't change the meaning of the colours.
if you can move them, move them, but leave the functions to the colours..
Yellow > Minimize
Green > Maximize (best fit)
Red > Close
it's confusing enough going from Mac to PC (Left to right)
no need to through in the extra confusing by changing what all the colours mean
Do make a blue and graphite version. Most developers miss that.

Gud one!
errr... thats portuguese infinity
VERY sexy-looking application! Especially loved the fact that it doesn't used much additional resources!
@lostspyder: I do agree with you about the buttons. Would really look better if they are more tightly placed. And being customizable would make this a really cool application!
Hopes the permission gets granted... LOOKING FORWARD.
btw does anyone know why is :-canadian: (dash is there so it isn't turned into an emoticon)
I think :canadian: is from/based on South Park (all Canadian people in South Park have mouths like that).
Any more news on release etc for this? Looks amazing!
flinda
I'll believe it when I see a download link to it
i think it would be more like finder if you did it like this(screenie below)....the toolbar buttons and the theme is very different...unless you don't want to fully emulate the real one...which would be a great loss...not every day some one makes a finder app if you know what i mean
