Influence on Telepress
In July 1996, before Steve Jobs returned to Apple and closed the Advanced Technology Group which was developing OS X six years prior to it's release, one GUI idea presented based on extending the Copland style 3D icons introduced on OS 8 could have changed everything. It's main feature at that point of development was to extend the Copland style 3D desktop outside of the confined 'window' of the four sides of the screen. This meant that the desktop could scroll in any direction and folders or 'objects' could be placed outside the perimeter of the screen. If the screen 'window' scrolled away from the Trash, for example, then the Trash would be represented as a single black pixel inside a grey 10 pixel width border around the perimeter of the desktop area in the south east corner of the 'window'. This would obviously occur if the screen had scrolled in a north westerly direction from the Trash. If there was nothing outside of the screen 'window' then the desktop area would not need to scroll - which must have been one of it's downfalls before release of OS X as we now know it?
 
Telepress aims to utilize this opportunity and insight by continuing the 'window' concept but populating the territory outside the window.
