I was thinking for do something like this long time ago, easy just though than done. Thanks for share idea. On main page, can add drag and drop etc. You can also get some idea from:

Hm, i thought a viewport is by standard rendered to the body element.
The resizable part for the start button, i would do with Ext.Resizable

Great inspiration for some more ideas... really cool

Looks great. Any plans for how to account for when there are more items in the start bar at the bottom than will fit? Right now the Ext desktop example simply expands the height. Your example does not. Thoughts?

Ok I've been working a scrollable taskbar area for this. I used Jack's scrollable tabs as an example of how to do it.

I still have some tweeks to complete but it is working for the most part. Here is a screenshot. I'll post the link to a demo when its ready.

Very nice! I gotta get on the 2.0 bandwagon soon, tons of cool features.

@mxracer, just out of curiosity, are you experiencing any DOM leakage in 2.0 in IE6/7 as put up by @valera in this thread?
(his example references the ext-2.0 playpen which i'm inclined to believe hasn't been updated for some time so the leakage might not be a problem anymore, but nonetheless...)

here's a direct link to a flash video @valera put up illustrating the DOM leakage:
