A Visual modification for the WIN7?

-Mr.Fridge · Sep 1, 2009, 08:48 AM

Hello - again

I'm working with windows 7 for quite a while now, and been wanting to do one thing all this time that I just couldn't find!

You know the taskbar? well, I've been longing to change the way it works and looks into a somewhat MAC-OS-like taskbar.
Meening: I want it to be kind of roundish and the icons to "grow" as you pass by them.

Does any one know how to do that with 7?

(I havn't made up my mind if this thread for this forum or for the heavenly vision one

...)

I'd give it time, if I were you. I've no doubt Stardock will have a solution similar to what you're after (i.e.: Objectdock) but Windows 7 isn't even out yet.

well, if you want the best graphics of both OSs, go for Ubuntu ^^

I hate windows moding anyway, always slow it down and ***** it up.

Objectdock would indeed fit your need. Even the free version might be enough, I'm using it myself to get a simple launch bar at the top of the screen, but it could also replace the taskbar like you want. Do try it.
