Mini Aqua Ob Tray

Hi there guys,

take a look at this little pop-up ObjectBar system tray I created using other people's spare parts (no graphics are original)

It's a handy system tray for those of you who love to use the dock, but do not want the mac-style bar.

It displays the time, then your system tray icons (with the autohide function), then a shutdown button and one to hide-show the win taskbar in case you need anything from it (can't imagine what though, you can always hide the button)

It hides automatically to the top left, so it does not disturb maxed apps, but is still quite handy.

In these screenshots you can see it in all its glory

I was thinking of doing a good shutdown icon but as of now i have had no time.

Let me know if any of you finds this useful

Yours

Andrea

ANDREA!

YOU STOLE MY THEME!

I WILL SUE!

LOL Just joking...I know you said it'd piss you off to see Cuzzo do that, but I couldn't resist. Anyways, very nice job! Looks like you put quite a bit of effort into it. I read somewhere else that you said you are relatively new to the skinning community, but you are already off to a great start! And by the way, welcome to the community here.

andrea, i love it!!

i was looking for something so i could access the systray with out have the taskbar or a whole object bar (theyre nice, tho)....its awesome

is there a way to move it to the top right?

Since the menu skin I used does not have handles, it is hard to move it around... Here is a top-right version but beware that it will cover maximized windows' widgets when open

Download top-right version here

Glad you liked it... let me know of any suggestions or requests

Welcome to Aqua-Soft ANDREA!!

wow this is sweet! good job. i wonder if you will make a brushed version for brushed fans.

Damn Cuzzo...this is a site for people to have fun at and enjoy each others work. I have found that since you began this crusade lately, the whole community is not as fun to be a part of. Can we all just compliment each other for each others INDEPENDENT and FREE works. Really? Is there anywhere else that something like this happens on the net?? Hardly. PMs and Email keep this message board being a clean and fun place. So use them. Thanks.

P.S. Great job Andrea!!!

I can't really do anything other than rip someone else's brushed graphics for now (as I did with the aqua version), because I still did not get into the real skinning (all I did was work on the OB options).

So I am posting a "temporary" brushed version while I take some time to create a real skin for my menus... If anyone wants to help me by creating a 16x16 version of the wonderful mac shutdown button (the lighted white one), i'd be very grateful.

Girl here...

A very tough one, though: notice the ninja signature

cool thanks for the top right version

Hey Andrea,

AWESOME stuff! I did the EXACT same thing with one of the supplied ObjectBar skins, but didn't distribute it because I had no clue what I was doing and it just sorta.. worked in the end. Mine's autohidden in the top right..

Anyways, your little systray has more functionality than mine (ie clock and shutdown button) so I pretty much jumped on it when I saw the top right link. Plus there aren't as many orphaned and redundant files in your theme as there were left in mine. heheh..

Cuzzo,

I just want to say thank you for finally being normal and not on the rampage. You are definately showing more maturity. Keep it up. Andrea...Awesome work. It was just what I was looking for.
