SuperBar Vs Normal Taskbar

Love the superbar. sometimes I try going back to the old one, but only because I liked how the start orb jutted out of the glass bar =P But I actually prefer the look of the large icons(I like the detail in the larger icons). The new taskbar also makes sense for people with touch computers. The old taskbar simply feels yucky to me now, and its a pain when I'm using a non-7 computer =P. Aero peek and desktop preview are amazing btw.

This is my only annoyance.

The gap from the bottom of the box, and the bottom of the taskbar. It annoying when you click it accidently when trying to click a box.

Can this be changed?

I only get this gap when I have a toolbar set up with large icons, but yes, I admit it is quite annoying. Windows 7 was NOT built very well to support toolbars, one of my lifesavers in all my years of windows since 95! I have not yet found a way to put a separate toolbar anywhere on the screen.. MS also needs to allow the Start button to be placed at the bottom when users opt to dock the taskbar to the side...

EDIT: This problem does not exist with small icons enabled in the toolbar and in the superbar

Aero peek and desktop preview are amazing btw.

Aero peek helps me a bit, but I still don't get the point of desktop preview unless you want to use the fairly useless MS gadgets extensively.

Maybe they'll come out with better stuff, but for now, I disable Desktop Preview. Anybody have any idea how annoying it is to accidentally move your mouse to the bottom right corner of the screen and that article you were reading on the net magically disappears? its incredibly distracting.

I often move my mouse down there to get it out of the way, and then MS interprets that to mean that my MOUSE wasn't in the way, my inconsequential window I happened to be using was in the way, and should be moved out of the way so I can look at my beautiful desktop background.

Hmm, I'm using big icons and don't have that space ...

Someone asked before but it wasnt answered. When you dock your Task bar on the left or right of the screen, is there any tweak that can be done to flip it so the start menu is on the bottom of the screen, vice the top?

I'll occasionally use it if I'm reading something personal and someone comes around quickly. Then again, I also have to due with kids constantly trying to look at what's on my screen and who I'm talking to on MSN.

Move it to the bottom-left?

Edit: Almost forgot, The Superbar is awesome.

i wonder if i get that space because of using the quick launch and having the icons as big?

lol relax dude, I'm just curious.

What do you do btw that you use that many different programs?

Could I see a screenshot of your taskbar too?

You know those guys that hang on the back of garbage trucks? I'm one of them.
