this is that little thing that mac os actually got right (and now macs have no advantage), the little scroll over icon bar. its at http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/ and its really customizable.
just thought id let everyone know about this nifty little thing

i really like this thing
it works nicely, has a few different magnification modes besides the original one macs use, the new one actually works better i think. check it out if you wanna have a nice looking desktop.

yes, i love this
i customixed it to remove the taskbar. then i put shortcuts to programs i need on it.. and i put a link to the start menu folder with all my links in it... so if i need a program thats not on the objectdock.. i load up the folder and browse to it liek my start menu.. now im gonna play aroudn with windowblinds to get a nice theme going

I keep my dock at the top of the screen.

I've been using it for several months now and it's been working great. There are still several minor bugs still yet to be swatted, but bugs are bugs and they must go. Its a great program and should catch on rather quickly after its official release.

yeah, the only problems i have with it are the fact that my taskbar often coems back after it is hidden, and winamp doesnt show up on it... i have to switch winamp to appear in taskbar, twice, and save in order for it to show up
idk, nice program tho

Does anyone know how this program performs on multi monitor setups?
Just wondering because I dont want to install it on my main box if its going to be weird with multi monitors like some programs are.
