Hi All, Thanks for your views about this new feature. Well I think that there has to be a way to give users to easily differentiate the recently accessed files/folders. The idea I have suggested surely is little different. I have shown it here to some of my friends and they says that they like it, and more to it, they need it !!! but even i think that if we can come up with better idea then it will be great.
I tried to find a way to add transparency to the icons but it seems that gdk-pixbuf has limitations on it at now. If some one know how to add transparency to gdk-pixbuf than it would be great help. By that time I will submit a bug and attach a patch on it. Best Regards, Avadh Patel PhD Candidate Computer Science, SUNY Binghamton.
