Hi Nima, great mockup! For what it's worth a localhost tor interface is something I've been longing for us to do for quite some time. I pitched it to GSoC applicants (without much success) and plan to hack on it myself in the future, but not until after finishing the arm rewrite. So it'll be quite a while.

Making a trac page with mockups and feature ideas might be a great spot to start even if we lack someone to hack on it right now.
Cheers! -Damian

Hi Devs,
[For those of you who have missed Vidalia, and for those of you who hated it dearly but still needed an easy-to-use Tor controller]
A long while ago, when I was bored on an airplane, I tried to imagine a nice controller inside TBB, with all the good features of Vidalia and some more stuff.
Fast forwarding to couple days ago...
I was hitting a weird exit node that wouldn't let me connect to any site except Google. I only had TBB on that machine, and couldn't find a way to find my Tor IP address. That UX nightmare reminded me of this image I complied on that trip. Although it's not finished and is based on imagination only! I thought I'd share it anyways, hoping to inspire people to start hacking on it.

Here's my question for you: How would you perfect that image? What's missing?
Let's talk about your ideal controller (inside browser).
Who knows... maybe someone would read this thread and make it happen.
Bests,
