You are the master of this stuff. I followed ur greyhound tut on getting the exact Lucida font.
Anyways ... heh ... I meant to ask u, does ObjectBar have any glitches or anything ?? I havent really tried it since I dont really like the finderbar idea, but I am thinking about giving it a spin ... so does it like freeze up at times or does stuff like that ???

Re. Lucida - don't forget to fire up GDI++...
Actually, I'm not using Objectbar any more... I mainly used it as a kind of "place-holder" for small home-made keyboard short-cuts from Autohotkey. Otherwise, apart from looking pretty, it didn't enhance my productivity all that much...
Objectbar has a few minimal bugs that pop up every now & then (I was using the older 1.65 version, not the most recent 2.1 version), but nothing terrible...
The thing I actually missed the most using OB was the old XP start menu & it's functionality - nice to have it back...

doesnt gdi++ have a lot of issues. I saw it on aqua-soft some time back but there were many issues. So does it work without any adjustments/interference in other apps etc. ??
And when u had OBar, what did u use for window management/switching ?? the "Window" menu of OBar or something else ??

There's only been one issue with GDI++ that irritates me: it's inability to correctly render fonts that are displayed in a vertical direction, e.g. the Y-axis title on a graph. Otherwise, it works fine...
Yep - I used the "Windows" menu in OB for switching windows, or just Alt+Tab - DExposE or some other flip-addon didn't really rock my boat...

Oh yeah sure ?? So which feature u want ??
Dock is Rocketdock with GhostLeopard 3d theme (a bit whitened by myself) And icons from here and there and some by myself...
The explorer bars used are Findexer Nightly and "Mac Finder Navigation Toolbar for Windows" (google it - the first result)
And there is a Stardock Iconpackager (shareware/crackware 
And the Theme used is - I cannot remember - but there are a lot of Leopard themes flying around the net any will do I suppose.
Oh and u need Cleartype Enabled and custom font Lucida Grande gives the Mac finish. So yeah a pretty long list but wud not take more than two hours after u download all the stuff.
