Chances are people probably wont be able to make this, It is based on Object dock but its worth a shot :P

Okay so on Object dock you can have custom icons kinda like a quick launch but more interactive. You can also have icons of the currently opened windows, and in plus you can have the system tray icons.

So here's my idea. Make a program thats a new taskbar. In ObjectDock you can hide the taskbar so hide the real taskbar, display this program then on your program have a start menu button, and quick launch icons. The start menu button is pritty much self-explanatory and for the quick launch icons have the settings you can have for objects on objectdock.

then have a clock at the end and have the system tray icons there too.

Basically you are creating your own taskbar with all the same functions as the windows one and using that instead of the windows task bar. This is good for many reasons like:

  • You can have a skinning feature where you skin just the taskbar and set the taskbar button etc
  • You can have other features that you dont have on most windows taskbars like you can have thumbnails like you have on vista and for quick launch you can have the zoom effect ect.


I dont know wetehr there are stardock forums or whatever to post this on but if there is could somebody please quote this on there if they have the time i cant really be botherd :P
