Title: Hey there, howz this for an idea has it been done?
Post by: sooyeah on 15/06/2008 17:33:23: Ok so I was looking at my screen today blue screen with the icons and I wondered if it would be possible although I know it would, to build a cave system into the programme that is to say multiple layers, like shelves on a book case or section on a cave and you could place all relevent icons into?

It no doubt has already been done. But just in case it hasn't I thought I would ask.

I know that.

I was thinking that you could rather than hiding them in folders etc.

Have a scrolling system, like walking through a cupboard. All related folders programmes can appear on screen, in each section of the cave, cupboard, what ever you choose to call it.
