Just testing RKlauncher:

The one thing I do not like is that it does not incorporate the SysTray so I have no Calender or Time display or icons from the SysTray. You would then need to add some widget for the time, and then another for a calender, still not having the icons for programs that reside in the SysTray applet. The idea of adding sperate widgets kind of defeats the purpose of a clean interface, in my opinion, but i like th eidea of a clean launch bar that magnifies the icons. If windows did this with the Quick Launch bar, that would be a much better solution. You could then make the icons very small and mouse over them to see the bigger ones to launch. Why windows has not ever implemented this, I have no idea, because I have been wanting that feature for along time, but have no desire to jump to a MAC. I also have wanted this long before I ever saw it on a MAC and I bet a lot of other people have thought of it as well, only Apple came out with it as part of the OS, as wehre this is just a third party app to do  the same thing. For anyone wanting to give it a try for windows, I found it here: http://home.cogeco.ca/~rklauncher/

No change, well I'm using Eclipse a lot more as I'm teaching Java to some people.

Metatron, I used to use Eclipse myself but I recently got into something called Anjuta, amazing IDE, I really suggest checking it out.

Just installed it, It looks like a nice C/C++ IDE I will have to play around with it.

It has advanced Syntax completion and Syntax coloring which I really like, the compiling and debugging process is soooo much more straightforward with it.

P.S. Use the Scintilla editor, its much more clean.

Edit: I almost forgot, you are doing Java so I suggest you go into plugins options and select the Class Inheritance plugin, there are tons of plugins with it, also that you may DL.
