Blu-ray drive icon should have the disc blue.
While the actual disks are not blue, it would be nice to have the icon blue, so those who may have dual drives, one being a blu-ray and one being a normal DVD drive can tell the difference,.

Allow themepacks to be downloaded within the 'Personalization' interface
Instead of the 'more themes online' link, why not have a function a bit like Windows Update, so that you can check for any new free themepacks from within the Personalization interface and if there are any new ones available and select the ones (more...)

Click-to-drag Scrolling Desktop Icons

Click-to-drag Scrolling Desktop

Shared folder, Icon Change
Hello,
In Windows-98 File-manager, the folder Icons Changed when the folder was Shared on the network, but I've Not found a way to activate this, in later OSs.

I would very much like for this to be added to Windows-7 ?
Thank you,

Boring looking Scanner properties dialog
When I go to Devices & Printers, select my all-in-one printer, then go to view the scanner properties, the scanner icon in the resulting dialog box after clicking the link is Windows XP style and the dialog is rather boring to look at.

Construct whole new UI design, vector icon package and programming API etc for Windows 7
As nice and pretty though Windows 7 is with its scalable vector based icons, Aero UI,WPF apis etc etc, lets face it: its based on a vintage win32 API which was cool and awesome in 1995, but because its now 15 years since, its time for a change methinks.
Reconstruct Windows 7 in whole new ways as suggested in the title.
