skinnin in windows blinds

[wesr]

OK heres the deal. I have iSkin for windows blinds. i also have object dock. now, i want both the dock and the start bar at the bottom, but i dont want the dock to be blockin anything. This is kinda odd, but is there a way that i can modify this start bar so that i can take a chunk from the middle where the dock will slip in? I know i am picky, but i dont like the taskbar on autohide, nor the dock. but i want both showing without interference. And i like them both at the bottom. So any help is appreciated. If it helps, i have object bar too.
so basically what i want is a start button and the tray icons

maybe you could mod your start bar so that a section is the same color as your desktop? i wouldnt have a clue how to go about that tho....

ps- wesr, clean out your pm box

here is my reply, cuz i wont remember it....

no prob. but you, along with many others with similar Qs have made me think about creating a site dedicated tword this sort of stuff.

the font i am using is called ethnocentric

another good font is called pricedown - its the font for the gta series of games.
other than that, i really dont have any suggestions other than to search this site ( http://www.larabiefonts.com/index.html ) for some good fonts... its where i get msot of my 'odd' fonts.

if you have object desktop you can get plugins for it that have the tray icons and start menu to run along with object bar, I did it for a bit. I have attached the system tray bar, but I think I deleted the start menu, i will keep looking. But I found it on a website.

that file doesnt work.....what does it do....im not sure i follow

sorry, i should have explained a bit more. You had stated that all you basicly wanted was the start menu and the try icons. I cant help you modify the exsisting start bar, but this will ( if you want to) have a system tray and, if I can find it, the start button and menu floating around with Object desktop. Its a little complicated to get loaded at first, but its a alternitive to trying to cut the startbar up. you will have to have the full version of Object Desktop to make it work, if you need it PM me and we will chat. Its up to you if you want to do this, its cool when you get it all working right, but it's a bitch to get at first.......
