Description I AM BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

It's really hard to explain how happy I am after long time no 'check my dev'.

Okay, so here I am, keep concepting about Windows 8 user interfaces and now I brought you this: my concept about The new Windows 8 Taskbar! Hurrah!

Well, actually I inspired by ~JasonAbsolom which created Windows 8 concept v2.4 WIP, and maaan, your concept was really awesome! Make more plz!

Now, here I want to explain you features in this taskbar:
- Newly designed Start Orb. Minimalistic view but huge satisfication.

- Newly designed Shut down button. I changed the "Shut down" button into a close button, which actually do the same thing, shuts down the computer.
The minimize button works as Ctrl+Alt+Del in Windows 7, which shows additional options like log off, switch user, etc.

- New User Thumbnail UI. Y' know my Windows 8 Logon Screen Concept? I applied the same user thumbnail style here, with addition: USER TAGLINE!!!! and unread mails. That should be worth satisficating your expectation like "oh Microsoft please pimp up your Windows Aero 'cause current Aero sucks"

- this is what you've been waiting for: the New Taskbar! In the left side, which is currently showing prayer times (I'm Moslem) can be customized into things you want, such as weather report, climate, or anything else you want! And in the right side, one of Microsoft's sacred things : Date/Time. You can also modify that.
This taskbar is auto-hided. But in order to show it again, you don't need to hover your cursor above it (since I think peoples also feel the same that everytime they are not going to click not on the taskbar but the taskbar appeared, when the mouse is hovering the location of the taskbar. Actually they are going to click something behind the taskbar. Oh yeah, and I apologize for this stupid and long explanation of things which not all peoples will understand, so why don't you skip into the end of the bracket), you just need to press the Win key on the keyboard. I really bet you will feel it much comfortable and efficient.

- Show-Hide Panel. The left side contains "Show Start screen" button, Quick Launch, and some spaces if you want to customize it. And, the right panel contains tray icons and its notifications. Oh and the "Show Desktop" button.

- Preferences. Might contain things which makes you explode because of the happiness while seeing that Microsoft is going to accept your expectations about CUSTOMIZE! and LEGAL(approved by Microsoft, which you don't need 3rd party UI customizer)

OK man, time for you and your comments to speak about this and about what I should add on the next concept.
