Nah I'm using ObjectDock Plus. It just interacts better with changes to your desktop (i.e. watching a full-screen video or playing a game that changes screen resolution won't muss it up).

Torrent it, if you need I can up the torrent.

Just wondering why do you use ObjectDock? I used it 5 years ago and it was really good but then Windows 7 Task Bar came out.

I hate the Win7 taskbar. It's chunky as fuck, and I hate the way it interacts with web browsers because it shows all tabs. I prefer the classic, oldschool version with text, not icons.

I'm using the Win7 taskbar in that desktop but I've just used the taskbar settings to make it look like it did in XP, or as close to XP as I can get.

I don't know what program Mao is using, but you can use software such as Rainmeter (there's A LOT of these types of programs) to do similar things:
http://rainmeter.net/cms/About
http://rainmeter.net/cms/Support
It's quite powerful, there's quite a few plugins for it as well. This website here has a lot of examples of what you can do with it: http://www.customize.org/rainmeter/skins

If you're using XP, then Samurize isn't half-bad: http://www.samurize.com/modules/news/

I am using rainmeter. It takes a while to get the right skin and all the components correctly placed, but it's worth it.

Lurk on 4chan/wg to see what you can do with it.
