At least you think its a good idea and a cool one too...
I guess I'll go and learn what rendering means and then see if I can do it myself...

Hey That's great, I also thought that if he likes the Idea later on it can become 3D like the desktop cube idea, and it can actually look like a circular cabinet, and you can either have a top view or a side/front view, and than allt he concept of drawers can be developed.
Thanks for asking the developer.

Yea I know that, but I was thinking visually, it looks clattered and un proportional with all the icons around the dock.
if you had a way of "storing" the files in small tabs it would be possible to use the dock as an alternative to the desktop, so its not only a kind of a table with shortcuts but the actual directory manger, it would look like the FF tab toolbar only as if you took it and folded it to fit around the dock.
that way its not just icons that open in regular windows but the icon is transformed into a tab that once opened has the icons "in it" like a drawer. so i can take all of my files (images and documents) that has to do with project XYZ and put them together in this "drawer" that will be actually a tab around the dock.
am I making sense? should I send a drawing?

Is it possible to transform the circle in to a kind of a top view file cabinet? where there is a tab option on each circle so you can collapse the files or icons in to a tab that will then be controllable, you could extract it from the circle or minimize it back to "behind" the circle?
this way you can have as many tabs as you want around the circle, they can be color coded, and in 3d so as to have a few layers of tabs.
