Since Microsoft is listening to feedbacks I decided to try to contribute with some mockups. I hope that it will come to their attention

Windows 10 would have blown if this was the initial explorer.
But because of the need of backwards compatibility, this is probably not going to happen soon.

it look similar to clover ..
This looks dope!
thats so nice. i'd love for my files to look like this
It looks so damn good. Why is this not a thing yet. Thank you for making this.
Please make this so people can use it. it looks great!
It is just a concept or you have any theme.pack of it???
I just suggested your theme to MS through that Feedback app. Hope others will too. Hope they will listen like promised. Default Explorer is so ugly. Folder icons are ugly.
MS is listening to the user feedback like you said but not on the page you linked anymore. They use the Feedback app from 10. How should I upvote you there?

That's actually really good. Why don't we have tabs in explorer?
I have to say you're so talented.
This mockup perfectly infused classic windows functionalities with new windows universal app aesthetics, and even some Yosemite styled translucency touch in the right amount.

Question: You designed the icons yourself? Is there any chance I can get a copy of them?
P.S.: I'm trying to implement a working version of your mockup (just in case the guys in MS don't listen to us). But that's classified information.

Thanks for the votes highfive:
Yes, I made the icons but they're not ready for a release yet.

Yeah, truly looks amazing!
but we r not gonna see it in W10 no matter how many votes you get, looks a bit like OSX, also too stylish for MS!
So....do us all a favor and make a theme out of it!

Back in Windows 8 days I would've agreed with you, but things change, and MS is really taking user feedback into account.
About the UI, I guess they are already going in that direction.
Just take a look at the latest Music App Preview:

Change the blue tone, add some transparency/blur and you got yourself a Yosemite look-alike.

The thing is that for whatever reason MS is making a difference between modern apps and traditional desktop desktop UI, like explorer.

Yet the desktop's UI still looks like a modified Windows 98.
I'm really hoping that MS takes our opinion seriously in this matter. I've been using W10 since the first released build and I didn't see any changes in the UI based on user feedback.
