    Cool car.

    I kind of agree, but also I think after a little getting used to it'll be better. Reason being is that all the app's you use are a click away, and previewing all the open windows of an app is a way of getting around all the madness.

    I have the previews in vista (and they're much bigger in my setup). i have everything in my startmenu so that i have open running apps in the taskbar (at full width, with title).

    i'm the 100% complete other way using the os than win7 is evoliving to.

    Just download it from
    Code: 
    http://rocketdock.com/
    Its a nifty little program and its work on xp-w7 and very customizable, you can download cool icons on there too. Here is a pic of my desktop as you can see I use it on vista 64 ultimate

    What you want to do after you install rocket is just find the location of your rocketdock installation, then just drag icons to the icon folder( if the are zip files make sure to unzip them first) and skins to the skin folder. You can download icons from just about anywhere on the net and then drag them to there, just do a google search if rocketdocks site does not have what you want. (also just to be clear how you change your settings is to right click)

    Thanks :)

    all from rainmeter, except for the temperature monitor. I use lavalys everest for that. set temperature display to osd, remove labels, and then make the labels in rainmeter to match the display from everest.
