(Formerly Windows 10 Google: Media Center, but following Kamal's departure I've decided to pull it out of the project for now while I experiment a bit.)

I am experimenting with some new things with the media center, for which I have previously released two mockups. A couple of changes in this update: the sidebar now has centered icons and is much simplified, using a nest style that I found in googlenews.gkvasnikov.com/ , and I am using a dark-style theme. The bottom bar has also been shortened a bit and simplified.

The reason behind these changes? 1. it makes the interface more mobile-friendly for future building on to the project and 2. it just looks cleaner and nicer. Desktop applications are supposed to be more functional than mobile or tablet ones, and I appreciate that, but this often leads to clutter, while tablet and mobile applications often cut down on features. I think that this design strikes a good balance and offers great ui and functionality for both desktop and tablet, and so the same interface can be used on both.
