RK Launcher overlaps windows taskbar

First of all I have to say that I am really impressed with RK Launcher, I have checked several applications (ObjectDock, RocketDoc...) and I have to admit that RK Launcher has the best performance and graphics abilities... I do though have one problem with the postioning on the screen.

I want to place the RK Launcher on the bottom of the screen, but still want to kep windows taskbar, what happens is that RK Launcher overlaps the task bar.

Isn't there a option of placing the application with an OFFSET from the edge of the screen, or even haveing an ability to move the application freely on the screen?

I would love to have this feature in the up coming build, or maybe there is somekind of workaround for this problem?

thanks in advance and keep up the good work! :)

Unless you reeeally, reeeeally want to see your hideous Windows taskbar :P there are several alternatives.

There's docklets that allow you to have your running programs, Start Menu, clock, and system tray icons in your dock. Think about it...

EDIT::

For Start Menu: http://www.dockex.com/items/4

For running programs, just like the taskbar, but more attractive and with custom icons: http://www.dockex.com/items/18

Replace your clock, and shows an automatic calendar icon: http://www.dockex.com/items/15

Show system tray: (battery, network, virus protction, etc): http://aqua-soft.org/board/showpost.php?p=430755&postcount=1

Hope I've helped (someone)! :D

And to think I was actually two days into an RKL tutorial...

why don't u just move the taskbar to the top of the screen and use Finderbar - this way u would have a bit of a Mac look

How would this be accomplished?

Right click the taskbar, unlock it. The click and drag it to whichever part of the screen you want and lock it again. :)

Even though you've already tried RD and decided on Rk, I'd still like you to know that RD does have the screen offset feature you want. You could also just place the dock on the top or side instead of moving the taskbar. Up to you, :D
