Description

This mock-up is special because it is the Explorer. Refined and made up-to-date.

Details for this mock-up:
- Moved most ribbon-related options to the Explorer Hub (like the Edge's Hub)
- Explorer can have tabs now! Why they didn't put this on Windows still makes me question their work... 
- Quick Access renamed to Pinned (to match similar functionality on Office 2016)
- Quick Access Toolbar joined with folder tabs (similar to Edge design)
- Bottom bar design inspired by Office 2016
- Share ribbon tab options moved into a dedicated share button
- Homegroup icon uses the old share icon
- Background image available on Google Earth View

P.S.: The navigation bar doubles as a search bar too.

EDIT (4/15/17)
- Reduced navigation bar text size as recommended by RsrMusic
- Centered navigation icons
