Yes! I use a software for the same reason, called Fences.
Go for the free version, it can do everything you need. My personal advice is to not to give names for the fences at all, just click ok if it asks for a name.
When you have customized everything (at desktop > right click > Configure Fences) you can right click again and 'lock fences' under View.

It seems fine but it wasn't really what I was looking for.

The one the picture seems better.

Thanks still if anyone has any other please let me know

Thanks!

Hi ashimashi

Have a look at these links I think thats what your looking for
Stardock Corporation - Software - ObjectDock
Winstep Nexus Dock and Nexus Ultimate - The Advanced Docking System for Windows
About RocketDock - RocketDock.com

All have a free version or a more comprehensive paid for version.

Oh what I was looking for was rockduck!

Thanks a lot.

But the second one also seems very nice. Might check that out as well!

Thanks again.

Nexus is what I'm using at present.Very easy to set-up and other skins from rocket dock/object dock work fine.You can make them as plain or as over the top as you like.
I always go over the top

KK thanks, you have a nice design.

Actually sorry I have one more question.

I decided to use rocketdock but there is just one problem with it. I always use the show desktop button that is in the bottom right corner. Whenever I press that rocketdock disappears. Is there a way to make it stick?

Ah you got me there not too sure about rocket dock im not familiar with its settings but I can say nexus and object dock stay visible when you press the show desktop button so I would guess it would be there somewhere in the settings.

i use objectdock and have it set on the top of the screen and on autohide however after testing for you i can say that the dock stays onscreen when the show desktop button is clicked, personally i would use objectdock and it does exactly the same thing as rockduck but it will stay on top of desktop which is what you want.

Thanks for the links I tried them out but the didn't really help me. I actually liked nexus better but there was a problem with that as well. Whenever I clicked on it, my computer task bar and my rainmeter plugins disappear. Have to press Start button to bring them back.

If I can't get it to work then I will use objectdock.

I've never had any trouble with nexus and have rainmeter running (and to be honest object dock as well.) Try turning off some of the less useful animations and sounds see if that helps until you get used to it.

But I just objectdock and it works just as well.

Thanks!
