interesting stuff =)

without getting into fidly implementation details (e.g. the 'x' close button 
at the bottom i assume is the collapse button? if so, it should probably not 
be an 'x'...), there's some interesting stuff to discuss here:

* the top panel area with the control icons

i've often considered how to let applets show little "toolbars" like this in a 
standard way. perhaps we could extend the window decorations (once they are 
in svn) to allow applets to register actions that show up in a specific area 
(such as in the mockup)

* the tools provided

in this case, less is more; do we need the magnifier? are two buttons for 
listing modes needed or wanted? i wonder if one toggling icon (betwee list 
and icons) would be Good Enough(tm)

* modes

the image mode really strikes me as what the image frame applet should do?

* folder name: we really ought to have the name of the folder somewhere for 
the user to be able to see where it is they looking at?


p.s. thanks for including windows, panel and other applet in your mockup. that 
kind of visual overview is sooo important.
