File explorer related elements ("go back" buttons, search bar, action bar, file details, file/folder list, etc) #126

Description

Hey there @khang-nd, I was wondering if you had any plans on adding any of that to the project. I think it would be nice if people were able to make windows that look similar to the file explorer windows from Win7 (like this!).

My idea was, either add the elements separately or make a full file explorer-styled window (which would contain all the elements, and people would be able to put whatever they wanted in the field to the right of the navigation tree that stays at the left). Considering that other Windows 7 programs such as Photo Viewer and Media Player also use elements such as the go back/return buttons and the bar that contains the "Open/Organize/File/etc" actions (although the current 7.css already has a menu bar so adidng it wouldn't be needed), the former might be a better option, but I am not sure.

My main concern is honestly the title bar, because the file explorer title bar looks different from other programs' title bars in 7 (the file explorer title bar has the go back/return buttons, the search bar etc., which I guess I could add to the current 7.css title bars but it would not look as faithful).

It would be a cute idea. But at the same time this sounds too niche (?) so I understand if you don't want to consider adding it (I really wanted it though,,,).

Sorry if my wording sounds confusing! I also apologize for the lack of a label, I really do not know how to use github and I don't see an "add label" button or somethinf similar anywhere but this is supposed to have an "enhancement" label.
