I don't know have you seen this kind of thingie.
it looks like it arises from the upper border of the taskbar.
like the start menu when sliding animation is on.
it can't be IN the taskbar.

I was thinking, isn't one able to get the current ie window size?
like, if you maximize it and read the height it will be screenheight-taskbarheight, right?
can this be done?
and still with hidden IE (visible=0) ?

it would be nice to have little bar of our own in the upper right corner of the taskbar.
in bbchecker there would be shown last submitted post and when wanted, could open ie window with that thread or open other form which shows some last 20 active topics on bb...
this would easy up the triggering to posts when they appear on bb if you are as an exampe, working at the same time...
