Don't know if this is the right area to post this, but is there a way to have icons in the restricted region for DesktopCoral (or any other program similar to DesktopCoral?). I'd like to have the same functionality of restricting maximum window size, but I'd also like to display icons in that area (since Win7 doesn't allow for side menus). Basically, I'd like for my icons on either side of the screen to always be visible when it comes to maximized windows in case I want to open something and there are a bunch of windows in the way (and I don't want to just show desktop, since I can't get the same location for all the windows back).
Also, is there a way to also restrict the full screen area so the same thing happens? Like if I open Diablo 2, the two sides of the screen still show icons? I'd also like to hover over said icons without the screen flickering from leaving fullscreen mode. If there's no program out there that does this, how difficult would it be for someone to write?
Best way to describe what I want is kinda like a Viewport (which was an addon in World of Warcraft that kinda did the same thing, but only in-game). For all intents and purposes, I'd like applications to think my screen is small than it really is, but my desktop itself (including icons) to still be displayed. Please help.
