Does it get rid of your Start bar and everything? :(

[senocular]

stardock has one (the makers of windowblinds) its ver .99 though (still beta) so its not perfect and it did crash on me once, but its pretty cool IMO


... ok nvm, I just checked the link and it is the one Im talking about :crazy:

and yes, it can get rid of the start bar if you want ;)

[VisualAid]

yes but i use windows blinds which has a mac os x skin i use that on the top with start and play music like on real macs.

then i have the dockbar at the bottom with essentials no icons on my desktop and a cool wallpaper and ur set!

[senocular]

I've been using this for a while now.. it's a pretty fun little toy

[mdipi]

i just got it for the windows box, pretty nifty, i wish that it didnt have the arrow when you add a shortcut. it does a nice job though. :thumb:

[nobody]

what arrow dippy?

[senocular]

dont add a shortcut, add the application itself

[mdipi]

how do i do that?

shesh these "windows" machines are sooo hard to use

[senocular]

go to where the program is installed, find the program, drag the program in the dock. shweeew. I know its hard, but bear with it. :P

[mdipi]

meh wow. i will just use my mac's dock...

[senocular]

Windows users dont need a dock anyway :sure: The task bar has everything we need. And icons on that dont jump up and down like Jack Russel fing terriers :P

[mdipi]

my dock jumps but doesnt magnify~ and its like fidy times better than a task bar! :P

Here are my complaints.

- the little black triangle is not much of an identifier for open programs, especially when you have not only icons for programs to launch, but also currently open programs.
- only minimized windows appear in the dock for an application with multiple windows. So to instantly go to any one window for something like finder, you better have them minimized.
- if you have no windows for an application open, like safari, and you focus safari by clicking on it in the dock, it opens one automatically. I didnt tell it to, I just wanted to focus safari, not open a new window :a:
- The trashcan is still used to eject cds/dismount drives :sure: so its not always a trashcan, it changes around to an eject icon here and there which is just inconsistent.
- Its yet more clutter to the screen added to the already present file menu at the top
- Theres some issues on right-clicking too that I cant think of at the moment but always seem to come up when Im using it.
...Im sure I could come up with more if I had a Mac here to play with :P

... not to say its all bad overall, those are just the bads weeded out from all the goods.

You can change the little black triangle identifier doohingalinga, sen.

It does have it's problems, but it is one sexy peice of man meat.

i found playing around with different settings can get different stuff to work also you can d/l docklets like the capture screen 1 of the mac.
