The Extensible Timeline-Like Desktop works like a
rolling
paper. It
allows you to always have a clean desktop without any
icons
on it, yet keep always focused on what you have to do
NOW, with quick access to history.
Simply slide-off the past desktop icons from your screen
(say,
by
a mouse center button motion from right to left) to
get more
desktop
space.
Want to go back to what you had been doing before? Just
slide it back (say, by a mouse center button motion from
left to right)
to
look at your previously added icons.

Yes, but with "unlimited" amount of new space for icons,
and possibility to slide back to look at the previously added
icons. |

This is really just "workspaces", albeit with a cool user interface idea. |

// This is really just "workspaces" // |

"workspaces" <---> "(this idea)", is like
"Natural numbers" <---> "Real numbers" |

[+] I've envisioned something like this for a modernized CL shell interface: enhanced to add sort/filter parameters for display, keep the command lines for the active process forks on the screen ("taskbar" functionality) until closed, etc. etc. tres cool. |

[21 Quest], but you cannot add potentially infinite number
of the fences in Fences. Eventually they will fill up your
desktop, hidden or not... |
|
|
[21 Quest], also, Fences doesn't provide a timeline-based
organization. Fences is just a different idea, which could be
combined and work together with this one - you could
create many fences on the long roll of the timeline-like
desktop as well. |
