Most extremely fun it is.

Well, I managed to replicate almost exactly what I wanted. Even though I had to resculpt a fake start menu, I feel I've got a perfect desktop object now. Thanks for recommending DesktopX to me, it's a great program, now here are my results ... http://img75.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktoppng7da.png
Thank you for all of your help, I am going to download Desktop X now, and try my hand at creating my own docking station. Thanks again your one and only, TripleBla.
Are there any 'permanent' fix solutions, as in ones which will stay on my desktop through thick & thin P.S. I was looking for more something I wouldn't have to customize and play around with, as I don't seem to be the kind of guy to challenge the artistic side of my brain. But yet I am looking for something to match the same theme and colours as CDII.</font
But how could such an interesting idea like this go unheard of ... I would 'murder' for something exactly like I've defined. A moveable docking station where I can store quick shortcuts to necessary programs, and the system control buttons.
Alrighty, do you have any ideas on how I could go about "compacting" my start menu ? When you say it was 'floating' out there just for the screenshot, do you mean as in artistically touched up as in copy & paste?
Well, basically since I downloaded this windowblinds theme, I've been downloading all of the accessories. I had basically everything I required till I saw this screenshot (i'll post it below ) Except, the creator of the theme shows no mention as to what it is called, so if any of you have any idea on the name, or even a possible guess I'd love to hear it P.S. It's almost exactly the same as a "floating" start menu "dock" I should say.
