Windows XP-style file explorer with a search companion dog
Rover Explorer is a file manager styled after the Windows XP Luna
interface, from the gradient toolbar and task panes down to the details
and icons views.
It ships an original animated search-companion dog who performs tricks
while idle, sniffs while searching and celebrates results, plus an
Everything-style indexed filename search: a background isolate keeps an
in-memory index of your home directory and answers ranked queries on every
keystroke, with no waiting and no crawling.
