Hey great job!, but I have a question:
I downloaded your objectbar theme, but I can't just figure out how to see how much battery is left, same with the network connection.....

Objectbar unfortunately, cannot dynamically update either your battery or your network status.
While its a pretty good app on its own, it does have distinctive limitations and this means either developing a completely new Win app or as the old saying goes... buy a Mac.
Sorry if you are dissapointed...

Oh man... a beauty...
However... The Leopard skin AND the old skin shows... the title MacSeach AND Spotlight is visable at the same time...
Any ideas?

I'm not sure what you are seeing Magnus but have you edited out the old Spotlight from the OB theme as described in the tutorial?
"RIGHT CLICK on the Spotlight shortcut (NOT the Spotlight.vbs one) and remove the older entry"
That way you only have a single entry (the vbs) in the spotlight space, all you need to do is to replace the vbs icon that you see in the OB with the spotlight bmp's
Hope this helps mate...

yes, Raats, it's really great you've found it, but unfortunately the spotlight vbs doesn't work in me, would you mind find out, thank's a lot Raats
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Um.. Sorry mate, but I really can't know why the vbs isn't working on your system..
I have tested it on three different XP systems here and provided the F7 key is not being used by something else, it works perfectly - on all the test machines.
Its possible there's something in your virus security preferences that's stopping your machine from running it. Try and edit the vbs in Microsoft Word so that you use another F key and try to see if that helps. If that still doesn't work, then check your security settings...
Before running the vbs in Objectbar, try opening it with the F key first
