I went to my friends place and noticed that he has objectdock. So i downloaded it last night. Its been about 1 hour since i installed it and now i can say i have configured it perfectly as i like. This is my thrid configuration and i am going to stick with it. No more windows taskbar. I was avoiding such apps for so many years since they used to slow down my already slowish pc. But since i got more ram, everything seems to be better. I am doubtful if the upcomming windows vista will work on full graphics on my pc (because of its on the fly blurring), so i might as well enjoy xp to the max

My current setting has all my apps, startmenu, my computer, games and utilities on my top bar which is retractable. Then comes by right end center bar which covers all my taskbar items and the right end bottom bar has all my system tray apps thus giving me access at my finger tips and yet giving it a bit different look The only problem is that the top bar takes up the position of my winshaded winamp window. I guess winamp will hence forth be off centered
The taskbar also keeps a screenie of any window/popup if you want so its pretty good

I am running ObjectDock Plus 1.20.522u

Lets get a few themes and tinker around Here are a few screenies

1) This is the top center tool bar which has tabs so it can have a lot of icons

2) The bottom right bar is my system tray bar.

3) The top toolbar is displaying the flyout menu (First pic) which is a neat folder. It has a neat browse option as well. This coupled with the option to show menu’s (Second pic) and to open the menu directly in explorer makes a kickass system. The first pic also shows the right end center bar which is my taskbar. The firefox window has a 2 written there cause grouping of icons is enabled

4) Well here is the pic for checking the memory consumption. Thats a (Y) if you ask me Would help if mozilla fixed the memory leak problem quick. Apparently winamp did in 5.11 but i only see a slight change. It still bloats up everynow and rather than everytime.

My god !!! It took me an hour to configure the bar and another hour to get this post up
