Act like Vista sidebar (maximized windows stop before bar?)

Post by Smeghead »

Is there any way to make it so Rainmeter can act like the Windows Vista sidebar, in that any maximized window will only maximize to the point where the sidebar starts? I don't want Rainmeter to show up on top of the windows, or only show up on the desktop. Just so that any time I maximize any window, Rainmeter will still have its own little area visible.
