Phar0e: it can look like anything you want, it's skinnable, or you can set it to be skinned by Windowblinds.
It's much easier to configure than a Litestep popup, but obviously a lot less customizable it doesn't have hundreds of modules the way LS has, although it does support a "plugin" feature, so maybe plugin programmers can contribute to make this app even cooler.

Here are  a few screenshots:

Moving on...
I still get no results from Systray no matter what configuration I try. Thought it might have to do with the settings for the Taskbar so I unchecked the "hide inactive icons" - no go. Like to know if anyone has gotten this part to work and if so how.

I've had the program unload windowblinds many times under different circumstances (sometimes just having the menu open). Maybe "unloading" is incorrect. If I go to the appearance tab under Display Properties it shows the current windowblind. If I apply another blind it works and then I can reapply the blind I was previously using.

In case it's important

Hey paxx - like that skin!

(I'm using Gilden now - but I've turned it blue!)

Thanks Paxx. Looks pretty good!

I'm using Gilden now - but I've turned it blue

Hehe, I did that too!

Ask Stardock to add a checkbox option to Hide Desktop Icons like the Hide Taskbar option just like in Object Bar. It seems much faster then the desktop menu option from Object Bar...Good so far!

Not correctly loading the current WB skin (in screenshot I am using the StealthOS WB). 3 entries of the MFU option get blanked out with solid blue bars (see screenshot). Mouseover brings back the menu, but has some remnants (see screenshot).


Current Windowblind conversion:


Weird blockouts:


Remnants from blockouts:

New version now available on SDC

Hey!, good news- I installed update. This resolved the conflict with "ObjectDock", animations are back. This doubled the "cool factor".

Weird block highlighting still present as well as the remnants. MFU section should expand to show 'as many as will fit in section' and scroll up and down if too big. Also, systray icon no longer appears.

Werewolf, they changed the tray icon, looks like a small cursor over a piece of paper.

rebooted just to see...have systray icon now. seems as though if I add anything to the default configuration, I get that blocking.

Font problem
pm/am and date on clock are dislayed as illegible characters
Got same problem with objectbar
Regional settings: Greek
How can I change the font used on rightclick menu (and objectbar)?

gfidias: you can change the font used, in SkinStudio. Just open up the .obskin file and hunt through the settings.

thanks - so easy, makes me feel stupid I was so fixed on searching for some kind of centralized settings to make all skins use a Greek-compatible font (something like the wb overrides) that I never thought of checking the skin dirs.
