Design done...
Hello again, so I believe I am 90% done with the base style direction and main UI components for O², and am currently struggling with my not so bright idea of dinamic QML colour pallets. Still overall I'm happy with the general visual direction of the UI style, it's IMO clearly derivative of Oxygen but today. Now having done 90% of the design and doing the serious work I know that the solemn work that will take far far more time is upon me and us.. So in the next week's I will be mostly focussing on the qml implementation that as already started and implementing a kinda Oxygen-demo UI showcase. After that I have to do something even more difficult... That is to find a a icon style that does the same that the UI style above did.. bring to today oxygen of yesterday. And fix any of its issues...

Keep up the good work!
The text below the preview states there is a noticeable outline, I didn't notice it on the colorpicker and the clip until I look closely.
Overall the work is _looking_ more neat, but the original Ideas I read about which really got me excited (color coded icons, sub-actions on hover, preview actions when dragging and not dropping, animated on hover) doesn't show at all.
It's good working, just don't forget that if the symbolics fail, the icons are useless to the user. Make sure it's easily recognizable and that users quickly associate it as symbols, not images.
And when you call up properties on a folder there being being three layers of user addible objects: behind, inside and in-front of the folder. That you can replace the white sheet with a selection of a photo from inside the folder and then like a real folder the name would be Birthday and the folder icon would contain a picture of a birthday cake cropped from the actual 'candle blowing photograph' inside the directory.
