Well, you won't have to wait for Windows 7 anymore... Winstep Xtreme 8.11 has just been released, and brings with it the most interesting features of the new Windows 7 taskbar into the XP and Vista world!

 

An integrated workspace environment, Winstep Xtreme is a powerful suite of applications that merge incredible usability and performance with breathtaking eye candy.

Jorge...Is there any way we can get the wshide images to use .pngs rather than .ico? That would be really cool! I'd love top be able to use .pngs in place of those .ico images.

WebGiz, Try ToYcon. Allows easy conversion of images. I encountered a bit of instability running winstep, haven't really dug into the source of the problems yet... But it's quite an impressive suite.

@ jonkjon1959:

I really like the theme you're using in the pic, but haven't seen it around. Any chance you could let me know where to find that taskbar/start button combo?

I can convert the images...the question is will the program accept them and allow them to be used. I don't think it will at this point unless Jorge says otherwise.

DrJBHL; Here's the theme that's in the screenshot. It's not all my work. It's pieced together from the Aero theme that's included with Winstep. I only modded the startbar/start button. It also won't work right if the startbar is oriented vertically. Here's the url: http://www.spiderrider.com/Aero7.zip

Thanks, guys...now trying to thin down the task bar....say, shouldn't we be able to decrease the width (or height) of the taskbar same as in windows by "unlocking" and dragging the "top" or upper border of the task bar "down"?

Yes, but the Start Button in that taskbar is too tall - the NS taskbar can't shrink to less than two task rows (with 16x16 icons in the tasklist) for it to fit.
