IDEA: clean Taskbar without clock and start button

(1/3) > >>

apfel:
Hi, had this idea of a clean taskbar, which only shows the opened windows and tray.
   
summing-up:
- no start button, but space should be usable
- no clock
- tray should be visible (btw. i use ps tray factory to hide some icons)
- whole taskbar should only be visible, if more than one window is present and on mouseover

hope someone can do this.

apfel.

TucknDar:
Have you looked into alternative shells?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_shell_replacement has links to quite a few

Personally I use LiteStep. Note that it can possibly take quite some time to get used to shell replacements and if you want it to behave just like you want, at least LiteStep requires some text file editing. Others, such as bbLean (blackbox for windows essentially) can mostly be configured through menus.

apfel:
I dont really want a shellreplacement for this.

tomos:
I remember there were thread(s) about removing the Start button, no idea if it was also possible to remove clock too - maybe someone remembers threads or search might produce something!

[edit] of course this
- whole taskbar should only be visible, if more than one window is present and on mouseover

probably wouldnt be covered ...

Removing the clock is simpler than one would think :)
Just right-click the taskbar, go to "notification area", and untick the clock! (this is in Vista, but I'm pretty sure it's there in XP too).
