osx-like iconbar on gnome desktop

Hi, I'm using arch duke, and i've installed gdesklets, but I can't manage to find starterbar desklets for download. is there another desklet with a nice launchbar, like osx?? or, where can I find starterbar?? does anyone uses the genesis desklet?? how to install it?

Well, it may seem a silly observation, but XFCE4 looks fairly Mac OS X like these days. Same sort of panel on the bottom and bar across the top. Have you tried XFCE4? It is a great environment, and much lighter and faster than bigger ones like KDE and/or Gnome.

Re: osx-like iconbar on gnome desktop

thak you all!! I've found starterbar... and it works great... but i still have 2 problems:

1- gdesklet is loaded as a daemon?? well.. it loads starterbar at login, but like a window... not like a bar... how to "fix" it??

2- other windows open above the bar, and i want the bar to be always shown...
I've searched ways tosolve both, but I haven't suceeded...

I used adesklets a couple of years ago; never used gdesklets. Are you sure these aren't just down to configuration options in the desklet's config file?

Re: osx-like iconbar on gnome desktop

you can config the bar to stay in front via a shortcut key, you just have to edit the config file...if youre using the gdesklets one

yes I'm using gdesklets.. how do I configure it?? I'm still a little bit confused about the main configuration file... would it be starterbar.display?? if so, what line do I have to edit??
