I always thought [Fences] looked ugly with vista/7 for some reason though.

Match the theme/glass color to it? :D
I don't know, but I think I pulled it off pretty well with a general black/gray/white color scheme.

Oh, and Win7 taskbar > RocketDock :P

Speaking of which, anyone do the update to Ubuntu 10.04 yet (or planning to)?

And Zorch, how did you get the semi-opaque taskbars? (me=linuxnoob)

Right click the panel > Properties > Background (tab).  You can even use an image as a backgrond for the thing.

Edit: loltaskbar.

lol debatable it is.
have you tried the new kde 4.4 they implemented quite a few new options.
install it on a usb stick and run it live, see how you will like it.

Yea that is 10.04 you can tell mostly by the purple desktop icon on the left side of the bottom task bar.

@Zorch
Yeah, that's 10.04, though I'm not sure if I like the new version better. In 10.04, I can't just drag windows across workspaces anymore; I have to right-click on the window and select which workspace I want it to go to. Also, it deletes some of my drivers upon updating. It also pulls a Mac and puts the min/max/close buttons on the left side, but its an easy fix via gconf-editor.

Oh and thanks for the semi-opaque taskbar tips.

What?  That would drive me crazy.  I'm always dragging windows around.  Does it still support Compiz?
