Offering everthing from newsfeeds to virtual desktop management, SmartBarXP runs down the side of your screen and can be configured to display interactive panels known as panes. These panes include media players, slide-show and image-viewing panes, a virtual desktop manager, and live news, weather, and stock feeds. The panes can be repositioned on the bar and scrolled if the bar becomes too full. The bar also can host extra sections, such as a Recycle Bin, Explorer shortcuts, and taskbar replacement sections (Start button, taskbar buttons, and system tray sections).

SmartBarXP is fully customizable. Every pane has extensive options and can be customized to look and work the way you want it to. The bar itself can be customized, with options for positioning, autohiding, pane scrolling, fading and translucency, language, and regional setting. You also can select the theme the bar takes; it can match your current Windows XP theme, the Classic Windows theme, or even a third-party SmartBarXP theme.

With a wide range of panes to choose from, and seemingly endless ways to customize it, SmartBarXP can be configured to the needs of almost any user, for home or for business use.

Note: Beta or prerelease software is not intended for inexperienced users, as the software may contain bugs or potentially damage your system. We strongly recommend that users exercise caution and save all mission-critical data before installing or using this software.

Featured Talkback

Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
