ObjectBar

ObjectBar is a Windows tool that creates a new Taskbar on any computer, thus allowing users to extend or replace the traditional Windows Taskbar.

By default placed at the top of the screen, ObjectBar comes with multiple themes, all supposed to help the app better fit your desktop.

But what’s more important is that the program gives you full control over the items to appear on the bar, so you can choose from a long list of elements including clocks, virtual desktops, folders, popup menus, RSS feeds, address boxes, email checkers, CPU and memory meters and many other gadgets.

Besides the fact that it comes with several skins, ObjectBar is fully skinable, which means that you can customize its look by changing the text color, sizing ability, transparency level and many other parameters.

ObjectBar is not at all difficult to use, but users may spend a lot of time setting it up, which can very well be considered a major drawback, especially when it comes to rookies. Most of the configuration settings concern the way the bar looks and the elements to be displayed, so a wizard could come in very handy.

The program works flawlessly regardless of the Windows version running on a specific system, using just a moderate amount of resources to serve its purpose.

Which leads us to a rather simple conclusion: if you wish to get rid of the standard Windows Taskbar or extend its functionality, ObjectBar could help you a lot. Otherwise, it may only make your life harder, taking up important space on your screen.
