[help] What Should I Do?

i need help, what should i do, i need my taskbar, but i hate all docks except Y'z Dock, which really grew on me, which doesn't have a taskbar.

i'm not giving that up.

i need my start menu, taskbar, and system tray, but i don't know where to put it all.

i would like to have things MINIMIZE to the dock, but not show there 24/7, and i'd like to have the systray on the bar at the top.

i'm thinking about using mcbar but that doesnt have a systray, correct?

help!

hhmm...

docklets for yz'dock can put the Start Menu and Tasks on the dock, kind of. Check here for the docklets.

Buy ObjectBar to have the top bar with a lot of visual options, there's many skins for it. Try out the free alternatives listed here if you want.

Minimization to dock hasn't been done yet, as far as I know.

I wonder why no one has ever make a docklet or something to make the dock shows only the windows are minimized instead of all the running windows...is that very difficult? :blink:

The thing with a tasks docklet is as follows:

Inside your code you can create exactly 1 docklet.

Neither YZ nor OD allow for adding more than one at startup

or deleting and adding them later randomly. A design flaw.

AveDesk can do that, but would it be speedy enough to emulate a dock?

This'd be a too large amount of code just for being sued by apple.
