From Stardock:

ObjectBar takes the best features from virtually every OS available and brings them to Windows. ObjectBar can do things such as group tasks together, configure the system tray to hide and show different items, and display the programs you run most often automatically. It does this with a fully skinnable and customizable interface. Dozens of ObjectBar themes are available on the Web.

ObjectBar 2.0 includes a Windows Vista Sidebar, support for gadgets, and much more.

Editor's review of ObjectBar

5.0 stars
""

Unlike programs that only tune elements of the Windows interface, this utility allows you to create and manage your own taskbars by combining any number of customizable bars and menus. With ObjectBar 1.6, you can make Windows 98 look and work like Windows XP, or even Mac or Linux. The interface lets even an inexperienced user easily switch between themes and add new ones from the Web.

The handy theme editor displays taskbar elements on the right and their settings on the left. You can set look and behavior for any item. ObjectBar consumes less memory than the standard Explorer shell does. This reasonably priced tool will tickle those who find their Windows toolbar too inflexible or boring.

"I love this program!"

by Dano on July 12, 2007

Pros: It's so cool, you can emulate the windows xp taskbar or windows vista taskbar even the Mac OSX taskbar and much, much more!

Cons: There is a similar program that can do the same thing its called Vista Transformation pack and, it will change EVERYTHING to Windows Vista or even longhorn as well. This program is not that bad but you will also need Windowblinds and Vista Icons to get the vista look :)

"Beware if you uninstall this program"

by djfunkygrrl on July 27, 2008

Pros: interesting until

Cons: If you uninstall this program you might as well prepare to reinstall your operating system.
This software is buggy and will cause your
operating system to slow to a crawl. You have been forewarned...
