Just drag it up there.Left click on it with your mouse and move your mouse up towards the top or even the left or right.You can put it anywhere you want.
Just make sure it isn't locked.To do that right click on it and make sure there is not a check mark next to Lock The Taskbar

Those mac styles all look the same to me. How about making something new for a change? Don't get me wrong here, you've done a good job and everything. It just seems like it's all done before.

Hi Crazylegz,
Me too, this Aqua™© (and so on, they can't sue me now
I'd rather use the good old MacOS 8 or 9 "Platinium" as much as I prefer the "Classic Windows" instead of Luna (fancy, but ugly too).
CodeOpus kind of theme are nice too, not to flashy.
We're now able to use cleaner, softer, day long workable GUI but not austere... I think, imho, it's nice.
And about something really new... hum, the point is to get rid of the interface, no?

There will always be a difference in taste and style, I just said i'm bored of all the "same" visuals poppin' up on every other deviation. It's Tiger this, Mac that and Panther or whatever the names are
I'm just requesting different styles, and with difference i mean something NEW, not a MOD of this, or a remake of that. And to answer your last question; It IS to get rid of the butt ugly XP look, yes
It seams like i'm repeating myself here, but this is the answer you're getting from me.
And before you tell me to make my own: I'm pretty sure it will come out more ugly than the default XP theme

Hi,
I share this point with you, that there are as many tastes as people.
And, well OK, all that somehow allways around the same style is but maybe it has to do with its qualities -non intrusive soft grey or white, readability.
And now I wont use the theme you'll probably never compose nor mine.

Hehe. The world would be a boring place without differences in opinion

Hi all,
It's my first post here.
Yes, it is great. As a former macuser and Max themes fan, specially SS, I really like it.
But I have a problem, now I'm on XP SP1
I use a patched uxtheme.dll and cant find the good directory name in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\... to get the theme appearing in the panels. For single "xxx.msstyles", it's easy, the directory is "xxx".
Can someone please tell me how to get this work without installing "Style XP"?
Thanks in advance for helping.
