Yes, the bar on my desktop is more like a Macintosh than Windows. One day, when using Windows, I decided to move the bar to the top because I had heard from some UI designers that it was “better” there, because our eyes spend more time at the bottom of the screen. Well, I ended up liking it. So I tailored my Ubuntu desktop accordingly. Nothing stops you from doing the reverse, as you suggest: combining both bars into one and moving it to the bottom.

[As an aside, it's sometimes a pain in Windows 98 to have the bar at the top because some programs (bad programmers!) assume that the bar is at the bottom, so they start their windows at (0,0) which puts them underneath a top-placed bar. To correct the situation, you have to minimize your bar to 0 width, move the misbehaving window, and restore your bar. Such a situation cannot happen in Ubuntu Gnome, however, so it's quite safe to have the bar at the top or the bottom.]

You kind of made your desktop look like a Macintosh. I haven’t put ay research to this, but if would be cool if you could move the bottom bar to the bottom on how you combined the bottom to the top. EX: Combining the Bottom bar to the top, and placing the TOP bar to the bottom.

I guess your review has inspired me to use Ubuntu Linux. My cousin inspired me first, but this review you have come with is impressive.
