Couple quick ideas just throwing things out there:
* A pop-out quick-launch bar, with customisable shortcuts, instead of
using the start bar. Hovering the mouse over each launch icon would give
you some quick info, and you could customise the launch icons - or use
animated icons.
* The ability to resize current icons.
* The ability to add / customise panels. i.e. gnome/kde desktop
environments.
* option for sound
* tab for notepad, and a tab for something like paint, to jot down notes
and sketches.
* save feature for notepad and sketches.
* analogue/digital clock as background!
* widgets/gadgets like from the vista sidebar. or like mac osx widgets.
You could press a certain shortcut i.e. CTL+ALT+K and the background would
change to the widgets view where you could add or remove or customise the
widgets. These would include things like world time, weather, currency
conversion or whatever. Maybe make it so the windows sidebar gadgets are
compatible so no need to script new gadgets. I dont know too much about
them at the moment but maybe its possible to get them working in XP? Maybe
thats impossible i dont know, but it would be a MAJOR braggable
feature;);)
* Plugins
* the ability to watch videos or set a video wallpaper.
Just brainstorming ideas. Let me know what you think, and let me know
ifyou want me to start working on something from here..

I like all the ideaas except for the clock ink the background. i think thats uesless. I really like the widgets in the background idea. Nice one.
I was also thinking of putting a media player. This would basically act as controller for the windows media player. So, no need to create a whole media player, Wat say?
