wbar 64-bit
"Just a simple and highly customizable quick-launch tool.
Wbar is an animated quick launch bar for Linux, similar to the one in Mac OS. The zooming launch bar provides nice eye-candy and transparency, even on low-end graphic cards and without the need of Compiz, making it suitable even for older hardware/computers." Below is a screenshot of Wbar:

Thanks xanad, Wbar works in Fatdog64 too, after converting package formats. I'm going to repackage it for Fatdog64 and post the links in the Fatdog64 "contributed packages" thread, see my signature.

On Thar 64, it works but there is a refreshing issue.
Indeed, as you hovered the icons the apps you launch, now its icon stays big onto the wbar, as if after launch it needs to call for a "reload"

What version? Tahr64 6.0.2 or 6.0.3?

Tahr 64 worked on my IBM desktop. Bulldog finder didn't work correctly.
I will work on that when I have time.
