How do I create objects, & remove the Start bar (trying to mimic CTU)

Wednesday, November 16, 2005 by John Restin | Discussion: OS Customization

So after seeing a # of unsuccessfull attempts to make a CTU background (based on the 24 show), I've decided to take things into my own hands and hopefully make one for everyone to share.

Trying to mimic something like this: http://www.24fans.de/24/wallpaper/CTU_DESKTOP_1024x768.jpg

Making the bottom objects (Display, Channel, Database, External) the start bar and maybe where it says SAT.COM making that the space for the system tray icons.

Any help?

I was also looking to see how I could create widgets (or whatever) to put on the desktop portion to mimic the applications (ex. weather, time, cpu process, etc.)
