The System menu provides system options, such as 'About', and some shutdown options, and also access to the Trash Can. It can optionally provide access to different workspaces if the workspace switcher is not displayed on the Iconbar itself. The Iconbar is also completely 'skinnable'. The Drives menu shows all currently mounted drives, including partitions and removable media. The desktop by default has no icons, so there is no need to fight your way to the bottom of the window stack in order to locate and execute operating system specific features.
Users can add their own icons as necessary.
Touches such as the 'default' BeIA Opera button-bar, and a replica of an 'unreleased' Japanese piece of software called movieTV, add authenticity. In the example shown, the widgets in the window furniture only become visible when the mouse hovers over them. Also note that windows no longer have any 'borders', giving a more simple, uncluttered and clean look.
