represent the timespan from now back to the date.
Green could stand for newer and brown for older, but that might be seen
as a rather loud solution.

re the costs and
opportunities of unification?
- Could at least file-open dialogs be made similar to the Dash?
- Could we avoid file dialogs entirely?
- Could the Dash be extended for managing files or could a file-manager
be Dash-like?
- Are the file and folder semantics even the right answer t
me applications.
After tapping alt, all character-key presses go to the HUD search field.
How would address this in your proposal?
