I love using the new taskbar on the left side of my screen. But I wish the vertical taskbar was inverted, so the Orb is still bottom left and the icons "grow" upwards. It would feel much more natural. This would place the Show Desktop button at the top left, which would still be fine.

Hey Thack I felt the same as you but I'm getting used to it now(been about 1 month). Maybe there'll be a button to switch it up.Kubuntu Intrepid(64bit) booting Win7(32bit), Vista(32bit), and Suse 11.1(64bit) 4 gigs ram, 2.13 dual core, 500 gig hdd, Nvidia 8500GT

Thack, IMHO that is a wonderful idea. Asrock K8NF6P, AMD64 3200+, 1.5GB RAM, 500GB Maxtor SataII ,Asus 1814BLT optical

Yea great idea, mine is on the left too with rocket dock at the bottom

Has there been a fix for this yet. I also want the ability to put the start button on the bottom when the taskbar is pulled to either side. If there is a way please let me know. If there isnt currently a way to do this, can it be implemented with a future update?
