It might not be (easily) possible, but what would it take to relocate the white menu bar to the bottom of the screen, and give the Dock a reason to be on the top of the screen? Just wondering... I know I've seen nothing of anything like it so far.

Just curious: Why?

It's certainly possible to move the Dock to the top of the screen. Use TinkerTool or enter this command in the Terminal:

Code:
defaults write com.apple.dock orientation "top"; killall Dock
You can replace top with bottom, left, or right.

Note, though, that the "top" of the screen is actually the 1-pixel perimeter under the menu bar. So, using the Dock with the hiding option on is a bit challenging up there.

Also, if you're interested in dimming or hiding the menu bar (for some strange reason), check out MenuShade.

I know, the Dock can easily be moved to the left, right, bottom, top; not the menu bar that I know of... so like you said the actual "top" of the screen is one pixel below the Menu Bar, it'd be hard to move it. I just think it'd be neat for some change... as I like it change here and there, IMO it'd be neato put Menu Bar on bottom and Dock atop, but not if it'd give me problems.

And thanks for MenuShade, new, interesting looking software to me.
