CnS SideBar

Hello,
Im ripping and recoding the side-bar out of CnS Desktop and making a standalone application out of it. It will use the same code as CnS Desktop so any side-bar add-ins made for desktop will also work in this new sidebar application.
Im still in the very early stages of this but its working quite well and I should have a test version up soon for anyone whos interested ;)

Man that looks fantastic! Everything is wonderful except the logo at the top-left corner, i suggest making it to a transparent background color.

Very nice my friend, although take the white background out of the logo so it looks/flows better on the layout itself, and I say change the Settings, and Shutdown icons, cause 1 their not unique, and 2 they don't seem to flow or look good on the overall interface.

Hello,
Thanks for the comments everyone

. Yes I will be changing the icons/banner and other stuff its just been quickly put together for testing, its a prototype - work in progress lol.
Ive added a dock feature option that lets you keep it on screen at all times and no open windows will cover it up and a basic dragging system so you can rearrange all the open add-ins and put them in any order you like.
I know that windows/google sidebars have some great little apps for their sidebars so I made 2 more just for this one which are:
CnS account info: Shows you some basic information about your account at codenstuff.com
Sidebar chat: A version of the sites mini-chat box specially made for the sidebar
And you can see hungryhounduks amazing 3d clock on it aswell which makes it all come to life ;)

Its looking good I think and I will get a demo up ASAP and hopefully you guys can make some little apps "gadgets" whatever you want to call them for it cooll;
