Object Bar is cool, but... no tray/start menu..

February 12, 2004 5:44 PM from

Object Bar rocks. Period. Especially since it's free

I'd seriously consider ditching my Windows taskbar entirely and just using Object Bar.. however, doing so would get rid of two necessary items: my start menu, and my system tray.

Are there any workarounds for this?

I think you are talking about objectdock. In terms of the startmenu, that can be solved by https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=29&SkinID=2373 , but there is no system tray docklet as yet. I am currently using ObjectBar for my system tray and ObjectDock for everything else.

Woops yes.. I meant ObjectDock.

You say you're using Object Dock and using Object Bar as your system tray. So I take it you are not hiding your standard Windows taskbar then?

Yep I am. Click on my name and then click on my desktop picture to see what I mean.

Ahh nice!! So Object Bar lets you get your tray back.. and then you can hide the Windows taskbar and use Object Dock instead. Very very cool.
