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.

A Dhiva Labs project.
