ehe! like tittle said, my fav pose is put it at top of monitor. at that pose all most wall not have any problem, not like put it at bottom it allway hide some part of wall.
you will say, some thing like, put it at bottom make easy to move to All program (in X.P)
well, i don't think so. we not use all program we install to us pc, well me like that. all most program i use, i
use command "Pin to Start menu" event game program. that the quick way to access to fav program.
anyway i saw some wal was made for both pose top and bottom of Start bar. that means they was take a space at top and bottom of wall to use put there Start menu the and not hide any image-part of that wall. but not all wall was made like that way.
i like put some thing like sky/land at top/bottom, just in case.
how about you, i means your pose of Start bar on desktop.
