Cool Open Source Virtual Desktop Under Development

I am working on an open source virtual desktop. I am writing it in Visual Basic. Here is the only screenshot I have at the moment:



I plan to have icons that will open Windows Explorer folders instead of creating a whole shell. I want to make it as simple as possible. Does anyone have any suggestion about both the interface and the way it works? Thanks!

I don't quite like what I was going to call it anymore (Masterplan), I think I'll call it something like VDesk, VDesktop, or VirtualD (for virtual desktop). The name isn't really that important though. I think it needs some sort of a dock. I really want to figure out how to code an OS X like dock for it. How should I best go about doing that? I am coding in Basic. Thanks!
