Description
Update, following windows UI guidelinesDont mind the typos
Many of you notebook owners probably noticed that the current mobility center design is awful, it looks unfinished. So i decided to mock up my own vision of how it should look like instead of this: [link]
If you support the idea of redesigning WMC, vote it up here: [link]
Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Definitely what the Mobility Center should have looked like.

Not me, from all unfinished programs in windows, this is the most unfinished one. Lazy programmers...

Great idea. Hope the Microsoft will improve it on full version!

Heh I could try and make it real but... i wont add any HP stuff on it because then the sony, lenovo ets users will want stuff from their mobility center too and stuff like this so i could make it one for all or something like it dunno

Not worth it, i really doubt you could make it the way i see it. Plus it would be useless since 99.999% of all windows users would never try it.

well i can make it the way you see it

So can you add a live semi transparent battery indicator to the background of the panel? Add drag and drop, resizing with support of scaling of items, system level configuration awareness? Great, can't wait till you make it. It's not all eyecandy you know, anyone can put some cheap controls on a useless glass window.
Now for 99.999%, you do realise there are hundreds of millions of vista/seven users, I think my prognoses is even too generous.

well i can add the stuff in the screenshot exept the HP stuff cuz i don't know what variables and dlls and other resources that is using. Oh and i can't test the HP stuff because i don't have HP laptop for the test so

ok, make at least a very basic version, make sure it loads fast too.

It's like MS doesn't care...even using win98 icons in vista and probably win7 too. This is the way the mobility center should look. Good job!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, and yeah, whoever works on windows leave sooo many unfinished details, hell, even a average enthusiast can fix a lot of those win95 icons with reshack.

yeah, no doubt. It's unprofessional to not tweak all the graphics before releasing an OS if you ask me.

I don't even know what the Mobility Center is, but nice.

woah I never realized it was that unfinished looking before, this really should have been how it looked :/

Nice design. Waaaayy better than the current one. The current one looks like Aero unfinished. Lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aesthetics fail lol. yea totally. Great work, but
how come your not already working for microsoft?
You'd kick those designers asses...

Your right. Vista's is bad. My Lenovo is a little better then your example. Your mock up looks great. Very Aeroish.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Vista isn't bad, just there are some unfinished programs there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Here's mine . Not much better
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yeah I see the problem. It's all glass except for all the options. It looks ridiculous. I hope it's finished for Windows 7 RTM.

Pretty nice but you should make the title smaller so that it really looks like an usual title bar and I guess the HP stuff should be smaller as well and in the right bottom corner (if there isn't any box to fill the place out).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah maybe 2 pixels smaller

looks amazing!
this would be very nice on my notebook, if i needed it, that is
i have an Acer notebook, using the Acer Empowering software, including a little Mobility Energy Plan Center, where you can set all these how you like them
so no need for this to be made, if you have an Acer
i really like the idea though!

HP also has it's own software to regulate such stuff, but i'd prefer the windows version if it didnt look so horrid.

Nice to see the hideously displaced icons fixed in this... I have an hp and would like the Mobility Center to look better (though I just use it to take a peek at my battery percentage using 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm pretty sure you can have a battery icon in the tray, and hovering it should display a tooltip with percentage. In fact, WMC is next to useless on HP notebooks, brightness and volume can be changed from the keyboard etc.

I only use it because I have hidden the taskbar so I can use ObjectBar and also to prevent it from popping up whenever I roll over my dock icons...

looks nice may there be someone who makes it real^^
