This is for those who's video card does not support aero, If you are Stuck with the default task bar,Which is ugly to me...here is a fix, You will need two programs, first you will need TuneUp 2010, next you will need a program called TransBar..Download TuneUp 2010 and install, next click on TuneUp Utilities ,now look to the right and click on Visual Style, next Under visual style click on the ADD from the drop down list, next click on Download visual styles from TuneUp online... You will see some nice themes there,I downloaded them all.. Next use the Transbar to Ghost your taskbar.. Thats it.. Its better than default..
When I was on Windows XP, I was using RocketDock; So if you don't have win7 w/ the cool taskbar and/or Mac OS X, then this is a great alternative (you can minimize apps to the dock as well as have indicators as to which app is open atm).
Yea! I have used Rocket dock/Nexus Dock/object dock and many others, Have you tried circle dock ? It is nice as well, but i am trying to remove most of my clutter from desktop..
Update, Now all you do is install Winstep Xtream, Then download the windows 7 Theme,It will give you the transparent taskbar.
Now you can have a whole bunch of different colors for your windows 7 themes and taskbar, Just by using TuneUp utilities and you can download a theme called colors... All you have to do is rename each color from Aero to the color the theme is..If you need help email me..
