Ok i was at mr_penguins house and i thought of VTP (i dont have it anymore) and i really liked the side bar but i thought to myself "What if i combine Vista Side Bar with Halo 2 Modding?"

And it came to me!!!:
Halo 2 Modding Side bar

here are a few pics of the app (i am almost finished with the windows and stuff and when i am i will add the halo 2 apps)

But idk how to make apps in the side bar idk if i need to add a resourse but here it is so far:
Image
Basic Skin (dialog box)
Image
Aero Skin (Dialog box)
Image

Well here is the app so far and there is nothing to do with it but i need to know how well it works on different screen resolutions
File Front Mirror

Sounds very interesting! :D I'd like to see what it is like when it is finished. That is a good idea though.

The ratio is referred to as 4:3.

I started on an app that in my opinion is a better idea, which involves a tray icon that has all your apps on it and loads at startup. You can also use it to "open" a map that you want to use, so whichever apps you open after that will load the map you have open on start. I had some of it done, but I didn't really wanna take the time to make it nice and customizable. I'll post what I had if anybody wants it to finish.
