Of The Bay (short OTB) is an advanced GDImage project to create a dockbar working on XP, VISTA and W7.

The project itself, written in PowerBASIC, is using only the low level SDK API, to ease the translation to any other procedural programming language.

Of The Bay works in full composited mode. Its dockbar is populated with a copy of the desktop's icon, while the desktop content itself is being cleaned up to show only the wallpaper background (the icons are hidden as long as OTB is running).
