Ask the particulars, and most can probably point you to the actual file somewhere.

At home, I have a toolbar with some media buttons that makes calls to media player to play/pause/skip etc, but I'd like the whole app to reside at a taskbar toolbar.

I used to use a program (maybe in PowerTools?) that lets you toss WMP into a system tray icon. I can't remember where it is though.

I got the wallpaper from: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/resolutions.php?w=1920
(Note, this page has fastclick popups.)

Got sick and tired of trying to make WindowBlinds work properly and not destabilize my system. So I just hacked my uxtheme.dll and installed a bunch of msstyles I found floating around the net. The skin is called sandsXP. I believe the color scheme is number 3. Was also considering moving my task bar to the left.

Do you folks think the colors are balanced well?
