I know theres a few different programs out there.. But I keep seeing peoples screenshots with nice looking mac os x start bars... What program are they using? I dont want the rest of the bloated features of most..

Cheers

hi there!

there are quite a few apps doing this

AquaDock ... only found it here

MobyDock ... www.mobydock.com

ObjectDock ... by Stardock

Y'zDock ... here (i think it was the first)


AveDesk ... here (it's a bit different, but also very nice)

i hope this helps

great.. few options to choose from..

thanks alot mate

Witch one is the more convinent, popular, and easy for replacing icons ?
Witch one are free ?

IMO, if i wanted 1, i would get YzDock, its small & easy

IMO, I *DID* want a Mac OSX style bar, and got Object Bar - its the best and least buggy (just my personal opinion, as I already said).

i got a problem, i changed my desktop to something like this http://forum.pctuning.cz/gallery/albums/us...llpaper%7E1.JPG but sometimes i need that panel next to clock in windows, that in a right down corner...what program to use to get it there?because the whole tooblar would damage that nice desktop

I like ObjectDock, however I'm starting to have doubts about it... It uses up a little too much RAM and already started to crash on me...

Hi there,

My personal favorite GUI extension is AveDesk. It's got great plugins and lets you have everything on your desktop.

I've always found a dock AND taskbar to simply clash. Either one or the other, but not both.

AveDesk also has the nice extension called SysStats, which lets you put system meters on your desktop, as well as callendars, clocks, etc etc (almost anything you want).

Version 1.2 is due out soon! Lots of bug fixes and new features. Probably the biggest feature is ShowCase. By pressing a hotkey (you can assign it), it will fade all your current work and bring the desklets (icons) to the foreground. There you can click them and they'll open. Either hit the hotkey or click on anywhere away from a desklet to return to normal work.

Check it out here.

Cheers!

EDIT: I forgot to mention... I've got 8 icons (shortcuts) and a calendar up right now, and it uses a mere 2660K of RAM.
