@Archer- Jeeze, if you think Opera looks better than Firefox, maybe you should try Firefox again, or at least Firefox skins. And with Opera, you have that big, ugly banner.

Woah... you have your start menu on the top of your screen?
Sorry, just somehting I noticed...
Yeah, IMO it doesn't look all that grea,t I prefer the Modern Mozilla skin.

It's easy to fix. Just drag it from the bottom and drop it. In XP I think you might have to unlock it first. Archer maybe doesn't, but I also like to keep an addressbar at the bottom of the screen. If you hide them both automatically and check Always on top, your programs will always have the whole screen to themselves as well. These adjustments are simple but really neat.
Note that the different looks on CFC in Archer's pic has nothing to do with his Firefox skin, but with his skin on CFC.

I know how to do it... It's just weird, for me, I've always had my Start Manu and Taskbar at the bottom of my screen.
Sure, the programs may have a few hundred pixels less, but I really dont find it that good, also, I like being able to always see my start menu, makes it easier to navigate through countless windows when even Alt-Tab doesn't do the trick anymore.

@ Archer - Nice to see that someone else has their taskbar at the top of the screen!!!

Netscape found themselves losing the browser wars horribly in the late 90s. So they opened their source code for the whole world to improve -- this was actually the genesis of the open source movement, as opposed to the free software movement from which it sprang.
The result of that was the mozilla project. Mozilla is open-source netscape. It took them a while to regear, but a few years later mozilla was a great browser. Netscape versions 6 and 7 are actually just snapshots of mozilla, with some fancier art and a couple of AOL "features" tossed in.
the problem with mozilla is that it's bloated -- big, with tons of features, and somewhat slow. Firefox is a version of mozilla that just does browsing -- not email, not im, not irc. It's a streamlined, sleek, fast subset of Mozilla. However, you can add extensions that let you add nearly any feature you can imagine -- and only the features you want. So things like mouse gestures and "click-to-start" flash animation.
So, firefox is essentially a streamlined version of the most recent edition of the netscape engine. I don't believe that AOL intends to release any more netscape-branded browsers -- but that doesn't matter, because the mozilla project is still updating it.

Green standard. But to be fair, you weren't using a skin for Firefox either.

I use firefox, and trust me, it's definately worth it.
Also, my Firefox (no skins, Windows XP) looks much better than Archer's.
