Thanks, mouser. Great job, works well, very useful for me.

mouser:
thanks Gintaras, always nice to hear when a program is useful to someone  :Thmbsup:

I made that previous thread before noticing people had been making suggestions in this thread. So I guess I'll make my new ones here.

I would love the ability to have DesktopCoral use your system theme (look the same as your taskbar).

I have DesktopCoral on the right of my screen as a second taskbar. Right now I actually use a screenshot as the background.

If you're wondering how I created the screenshot: I removed the start menu, icons, notification area, and clock from the taskbar, set it on the right of the screen, then took a screenshot, then I cropped the screenshot. While the outcome looks good, it's an awful way to do it as it's not universal whatsoever (you need to take a new screenshot if you change wallpapers). Yes, it gets the job done, but I would love to see this option built into DesktopCoral (to inherit the system theme).

If anyone is wondering, I use RocketDock for the icons, and Rainmeter for the clock and remaining power.

mouser:
can you show what it would look like if you just made the desktop coral transparent?

letmein:
It would look like it wasn't there...
