Surely the machine's there to concentrate on what you're doing at the moment, in a nice big window, not on what you might want to do in a quarter of an hour.
Does anyone here actually use "Auto Hide"? I find it rather annoying personally. It had a use back when everyone was on 640x480, but now...
See, it all comes down to my theory that vertical screen space is a lot more valuable than horizontal screen space on widescreen monitors. Hence, I love the Outlook four-pane view where the horizontal screen space is filled up and the vertical screen space has a minimum of toolbars and rubbish.

That would depend on what you mean by 'mile-high menu bar'. And I couldn't possibly live with a single-level taskbar. Once it starts getting into program grouping, I become very sad.cdd wrote:Seem to be an awful lot of people with raised taskbars. Presumably they don't believe in the "mile-high menu bar".
I never have enough programs open at a time though, the only thing that used to cause it was when I had loads of IE6 windows back in the dark ages, but these days I very rarely trigger the grouping thing.
I also hate when the taskbar is in the wrong place, like the top or the side.

Turn off program grouping then. Surely you can tell what programs you're running by the icon and the first few letters?lukey wrote:That would depend on what you mean by 'mile-high menu bar'.

Just realised I already have it turned off. But the only reason I expanded it to a second row (I'm talking about what, a ~15px loss in vertical screen real estate?) is because there will be times where I might have a half dozen folders open, a few VS projects open, multiple Notepad++ instances, and I've just realised why am I even bothering to justify this? :\Alexia wrote:Turn off program grouping then.
