A simple, elegant and good-looking lightweight File Manager for Nexus 4 (and Android in general)

I just noticed that the Nexus 4 does not come with any File Manager app pre-installed. So I started searching for a good looking app to serve my purpose. (I rather enjoyed the look of the i5800's File Manager, in spite of its simplicity; see an image below)

The default File Manager shipped with Samsung Galaxy products (more specifically i5800)

The app has to be beautiful and confirming to Jelly Bean's UI conventions would be a definite plus. 

Although all Google searches for such an app gives you the popular (and also regular) results like Astro File Manager, ES File Manager etc.; they were not what I'm looking for. Their functionality list is large, but their UIs are ... basically ugly (I found Astro to be the best in popular top).

Thus, I went ahead and looked at more obscure apps and found inKa File Manager which seems a simple, nice-looking, even elegant app. Its main screen is not crowded with all kinds of information

and more options are only at a swipe away.
