hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to keep the simplicity task bar always on top, whenever I open like internet explorer or something it covers up my task bar and its a real pain, however it doesnt cover up the whole thing, just the far left of it I can see all my open tasks tho thanks

also, I was wondering if you knew how to hide shortcuts from the desktop, whatever I have in my shortcuts folder shows up on the desktop and in the shortcuts menu but I dont want anything on my desktop, thanks

Mmmk, go to your Base.rc file in your simplicity config folder. Make sure The following lines are in there
SetDesktopArea true
SDALeft 4
SDARight -4
sdatop 4
sdabottom -68
This will make IE not on top of your bar. To remove your shortcuts scroll down in the base.rc to the deskfolders config section. Comment these lines.
IF bar_top=1
*DeskFolder align(left) background(transparent) contents(all) folder($ShortCutsDir$) font(Verdana/7) labels(transparent) text($IconTxtColour$) position(0, $ResolutionY-150$) size(300, 150) view(icon)
ELSE
*DeskFolder align(left) background(transparent) contents(all) folder($ShortCutsDir$) font(Verdana/7) labels(transparent) text($IconTxtColour$) position(0, $ResolutionY-150-64$) size(300, 150) view(icon)

ENDIF
