Challenge!

[ricmitch_uk]

I hereby challenge someone to create this program for me. The first person to do so, wins a mystery prize!!
Here's the challenge
This is my taskbar:

It's not pretty is it.
I need someone to create a program that will reduce all hose pesky system tray icons to one icon, which, when I right click it shows a list of all the programs that were originally there, and then, like a menu I can select what I would get from their menus. I hereby grant anyone the right to market and sell this fantastic idea, as long as I get a free copy. Remeber you will also get a prize off me!
So don't delay, get programming!

It's the Cheesily Cheerful Chart Challenge II!! That is a truly awful taskbar, but that is a truly marvellous idea.

I prefer to have my taskbar (almost) empty and only use shortcut keys. Mouse only when in the internet or while "drawing".

Well... I'm not going to make you a program, but have you tried making the taskbar "bigger" (i.e. dragging it up the screen!). I had the same problem, and when you make it bigger (makes very little difference to viewable desktop in 800x600), all of the taskbars etc get split up into two rows, therefore using less space.

mine shows only those, been active lately, by clicking the << in xp, you get the rest

If I have it one two columns it uses more space, I need maximum desktop space for viewing, amongst other things, ahem... certain pictures. :D:rolleyes:;):eek:

Is that WinXP or is it just a Win2000 XP Theme...?

Where did you get it...and how much...?

Are you planning to buy the Alpha...?

Beta normally comes after alpha :D

Like in Alpha, Beta, Gamma... but no-one makes Gamma products, it goes from beta to final release. Also, alphas are normally only inside the production company. :)

Why would you want to buy an older copy than something that you already have! :rolleyes:

[ricmitch_uk]

Come on people! I need results here! Tell you what. I'll double the mystery prize! Now what do you say to that?

[mastermind94]

Yeah, I wanna get XP, seems better than my Win98SE Taskbar...

I never noticed that at first, but is that the type of program I'm asking for, just sat in your taskbar? Or did you just manipulate images like I did?
