Fanks!
updated, added Objectdock, removed a few things. Also removed CD Art Display but didn't feel like screenshotting it again.

What version of ObjectDock are you using for the task bar and system tray? Or what theme is it?
Also how did you set your mouse hotkeys to allow you to minimize all windows and such? Is it something within your mouse's software or is it something for your computer?
Very nice set-up though. Makes me jealous.

XP, I've sworn off Vista for life. Probably not going with 7 either until I get a desktop.

The newest Objectdock available, skin is called "Ultra Zoom", the left one is set at 0% opacity so it sits on the taskbar skin from Enigma.
My mouse is a Logitech Nano VX, and I downloaded this program for it that "unlocks" it, allowing it to take on ALL available mouse functions of ALL logitech mouses. I just customized it to have minimize all and document flip on the forward/back buttons.

I have the same exact mouse.
Mind finding the program and sharing?

uberOptions, totally unlock your mouses features and let any button do ANYTHING you can imagine.

Will it be able to make you immortal? Will it get you a life? Will it make Randy your eternal sex slave?
If not then it can't do everything

Apparently we have much different tastes l:
IMO:
Change the wallpaper to one similar to the right screen
Get rid of the left and right parts of the dock and make the remaining part have 0% opacity
Get a new rain meter skin
Get rid of the thingys above the dock
Make a new screenie showing what it looks like when you have a window open
Then again I am 100% minimalistic only

The problem with being 100% minimalist is if you maximize a window like firefox or something on the left screen there will be a big blank space at the bottom with nothing there, and it'll look 'tarded. The way I have it setup it maximizes perfectly to the top of that transparent taskbar. Also my wallpapers are different because I use each for different stuff, the left is my Laptop which I take to school, the right is just for playin games and listenin to music.
