If you use Windows and love to customize its look or add extra eye candy features, here is an interesting utility for you.
"Taskbar Drop Shadow" is a small portable tool developed by "sweatyfish" @ DA which adds a drop shadow effect to Windows Taskbar:
Its very simple to use. Download the ZIP file and extract it. You'll get 2 EXE files:
- Top TB Shadow.exe
- Bottom TB Shadow.exe
If you have Taskbar on Top, run "Top TB Shadow.exe" and if you have it at bottom, run "Bottom TB Shadow.exe" file.
You can customize its settings by right-click on the Taskbar shadow and select "Preferences". Sometimes it might close if you change some settings, you'll need to re-run the EXE file in that case.

Ummm.... I have read your articles for a long time Vishal, and i was wondering, what do i use for a bar on the right side?

^^ You can drag-n-drop a toolbar from Taskbar to the right-side of screen to make a bar or you can use any dock utility like RocketDock, RK Launcher, etc.
