if we can make them look lightweight enough

Please, make frames at all buttons. So, current Breeze checkboxes are classy, no need to change them

Very cool!!

My updated variant:

I wouldn't embed the filter bar in there because then we would lose the ability to keep the filter bar open while navigating around, as you can right now

@ndavis, the logic is: Filter Bar operate on current address i.e. opened folder, so when you opening, for example

Hmm, I guess I know how to do it better

One problem with your mockup is that it doesn't have any pictures

@ndavis, it would get rid of a separate Filter Bar.

Very nice! BTW, is it possible to embed Filter Bar into Address Bar?

ngraham, so what do you think about dividing plasmashell into 2 processes? Is it good idea or not?

This doesn't follow the template, and seems like too "micro" of a task. These goals are generally intended to be more "macro" in scope IMO.
