ObjectBar is one of Stardock's unsung heroes.  I think it's THE power tool in the ObjectDesktop suite.
Unfortunately, it has a reputation that it's hard to use; that it's hard to configure and personalize.

I, myself, don't think that's the case.  I think that it takes time to decide what you want your bar to do.  Once you have that, actually building the bar is relatively easy.

Jeff Bargmann has a really (good) complex tutorial on how to make your own skins and themes but it's too much for me, a power user.  It's designed for skinners.

Now there's a tutorial for the rest of us, how to make the bar that is right for you.  It walks you though almost every feature in OB from a user's perspective. It has screenshots and hints to make life a little easier.

Head over to https://www.stardock.com/products/objectbar/docs and take a look at "Creating an Object bar".  If you have any questions, you can ask them here.

Many thanks to the testers and proofreaders for all their help, you know who you are.

MySecret, let me know if you need any help.

Below is the Bar I am using now.  It's using the right startpanel of the new Pantheon suite.  Very, very cool!



The volume control in the middle is a DX widget made by Julien (littleboy) that allows me to put my mouse over it and spin the wheel to control the volume.  Middle clicking mutes/un-mutes and the blue aura gets brighter the louder the sound!
