Hello Everyone, I hope you all are fine.

I saw a photo of an imate jam (the one I have) who's taskbar was on the bottom of the screen. Here is the photo:

May be its just me, but I cannot find any way of bringing it down. I want my phone to look more like real windows and the taskbar on the top doesn't look very good. Also, as you can see in the picture, the address bar of the PIE is also on the top, just like the real IE. Somehow everything in the above phone is setup to look more like real windows. It would be so great if I somebody could suggest a way to do this.


Is this possible? Of course its possible when someone has already done that. But the question is 'how.'

I expected a better response here on XDA-Developers. I posted the same question in another forum but people there didn't seem to be too intelligent. But I'm surprised that even among people who are programmers, I can't see something that could be encouraging.

If you're a programmer reading my post, you could perhaps take a hint about this from Pocket Notepad (http://tillanosoft.com/ce/pnotepad.html). When I run this program on WM5 (on HTC Wizard) it does the same effect: Brings the taskbar to the bottom, exactly as I am wanting. It looks very beautiful. But as soon as I close or minimize pocket notepad, everything goes back to its normal position.

actually i wanted to see how to do that too, because to me the bar on the bottom just seems more "normal"...
