Excellent timing, considering that I'm currently
writing the LearnWiki
module script about Commons. (:
Are there any plans to make the interface more graphical in the near
future?
Probably not the too-near future (few months). We are currently working on
an overhaul of the search page but will initially be addressing the main
search area, and the sidebar of (soon to be) sister-wiki results. Hopefully
once that is done the work we put in will make other incremental updates,
like custom gui elements, a little easier to find a way to include.

Hello,
You can now search for file properties such as file size and and file
type on Commons. This includes file media type, MIME type, size, width,
height, resolution, and bit depth.
A few quick examples:
* A search for 'shark' videos [0]
* A search for 'flower' where the files are 16 bit [1]
* A search for 'stars' where the files are PDFs [2]
Please see the documentation for more information. [3]
