Help with 2nd taskbar
Wednesday, June 27, 2001 by Deuce | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm trying to create a second bar at the top of the screen to house the cpu, memory, and diskspace monitors, along with winamp controls.
But how do I have it like the taskbar, so that it's always on top, but never covering up?
Such as when you maximize an IExplorer window, it will automaticly go all the way down to the taskbar, but not any farther, I want this to happen with the top 'taskbar' so to speak so it's always viewable, but nothing underneth it.

Oh, whoops, probably would have helped if I would have said I'm using DesktopX.
Anyway, I just went ahead and made it always on top, so it givess the same effect I want, just can't close windows the traditional way, which doesn't matter really, I use Alt+F4 anyway.

You can do it easily - goto theme settings/Desktop/Reduce Work Area. If you put in a number for the top then it will prevent maximized windows from being in that space. Note, however, that you can still move a non-maximized window underneath it which is a pain.
