taskbar: FreeLaunchBar (QuickLaunch replacement) + TrayManager (hides system tray icons) + TClock2 (clock, remove start button, semitransparent menu, using a glitch to shift taskbar up)

I like the wallpaper. No link for it?
This is nice, well skinned, and all that jazz. Is that just explorer your using? Didn't know you could display big 'ol huge icons like that.

.. stupid keyboard.

Thanks for the comments, though looking at it, I need to rearrange the icons better. I don't think I'd ever use shell replacements permanent, since you don't really add functionality, which is all my Windows is about.

Dang you have made use of explorer like I haven't seen it in a long time. I'm curious about the "glitch" you used to shift it up.

I totally dislike Gant. That aside this feels nice.

Yes. Good question, Pyro. Where is the wallpaper? This is a good dark theme... well, partly. Seems far too many themes are always short one wallpaper. So much for a total complimentary theme.

Thanks again! I can't exactly remember how I did it, but you have to unlock and unhide the taskbar, resize it to a wierd height (eg 4 lines of text, but only 3 16x16 icons high), then lock it again. I think you probably need FreeLaunchBar, since it handles taskbar sizes really well. You can see it a bit better here using GSM: http://analities.com/satu/taskbar.jpg

About the icons, you can't deny gant/buff's versatility in having an icon for almost every app and folder and it's an improvement on the standard ones, though. I think I definately should've taken some time to find better ones which properly match.

jw62, sorry I'm not quite sure what you mean about being short.

it's noisy and funny aspect, so it won't work very well on other resolutions.
