I have made an update of my mockups. I focus on the project idea. I thinks that it's a good way to work. On the overview, you manage your projects, and when you go to workspace, the desktop-folder show only your project's files. One desktop-folder for each projects.
I add an other widget, a mix between GAJ and Sezen, for a quickly access to files in time.
