*Gasp* How could I forget AveDesk, my current favorite widget app!

**muzikool** · September 15th, 2004

I've seen a lot about AveDesk over at Aqua-Soft, but haven't taken the time to get familiar with it. Definitely should be on the list though!

Right on!

**muzikool** · September 15th, 2004

Hehehe, good to know you double-check me!

delta4s · September 17th, 2004

whoa AveDesk blew me away !

**muzikool** · September 17th, 2004

I need to get familiar with it.

*goes to do some reading*

delta4s · September 22nd, 2004

Yep, it can do some brilliant stuff that not only looks good, but is really practical too. I love the FTP drop widget - it's amazingly convenient.

Just added IconPhile to the list (thanks NetRyder). It's the first addition to this thread in quite a while, and I think it would be nice to keep it current until Longhorn comes out. Please post if you see that something should be added!

@delta4s - I'm rather fond of that email icon. Will you attach it or email it please?

E-kLiPsE · March 20th, 2005

I've noticed on some Mac OS X clones (Windows desktop) that people have managed to change the taskbar (?) to resemble OS X - complete with <Current App>, File, Edit, Window, etc...

If someone could tell me what app is being used to do this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

**NetRyder** · March 20th, 2005

E-kLiPsE, that would be ObjectBar: http://www.stardock.com/products/objectbar/
CRNI has some skins for it that emulate the OS X Finder bar: http://free-st.htnet.hr/crni/

There are several dead links. Including that CRNI website. Does anyone know of another good objectbar skin site!?

BennyJeanX · January 3rd, 2006

I added a dock to my 2nd monitor screen that has like my windows media player, winamp, bitlord, etc. all on a dock so I don't have to use my primary monitor every time to open apps that I would use solely on my primary monitor. I'm having a problem with this objectdock however, after I open a program off of the dock, a black box replaces the icon. This stands true for every app I open off of the dock. If anyone else knows a solution, or perhaps an easier way to either duplicate my taskbar to the 2nd monitor please tell me. Thanks.

I'm going back through the original thread and updating/removing bad links. I'll see what I can find in terms of objectbar skins.

I never experienced this problem, but I'll see if I can find any information for you. I don't know if it has something to do with the dual monitor setup or the way your dock is configured.

Links cleaned up. Take a look at SkinBase.org for ObjectBar skins.

Take a look at this forum for ObjectDock to see if you can find some help with the icon issue.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I recently bought a new laptop and I completely forgot how to change the theme. I've downloaded and installed the patch, and have a theme ready to go, but after that, I'm lost.
