Love the skin, absolutly love it. However there is one thing I'd like to change/add if possible, but as I am crap with code I have no idea how to.

Basically when you don't have any program windows open/minimised, the list on the side rolls off the desktop, then rolls back on when a program is opened.

I was wondering if this can be set to roll on and off when the mouse is moved to that side like the dock on a Mac? And if so, can someone tell me how?

mouse events can usually be managed by a hotspot module. Figure out what script is being used for the "rolling", and attach it to a hotspot event. You'll probably need to read the documentation for the modules you use.

theo. the task bar in th "nostalgia hack" theme i uploaded does the mouse-over hide off the right side of the screen effect you are describing, if I'm understanding your question correctly. you could adapt the code relativity easily to do create the effect in ultimatum.

I wanted to achieve the same thing but I messed up the complete config.

Would be realy interesting if you did it and if, how?

Another thing:
I had the idea of taking one of the four shortcuts at the bottom and use him to toggle the visibility of my desktop icons.
Can anyone recommend a good modul?
It should be really easy to set up ;)
