Host EvilLyrics in Deskbar

Deskbar (like the taskbar) is the perfect form of ui for EvilLyrics. It can host all the toolbar buttons, text fields, list boxes, comboboxes. It is always on top, and other windows automatically fit in the remaining screen space. The user could place the deskbar on the bottom of the screen, the top of the screen (my preference) or un-dock it. Users would also be able to resize it to any height.
I thought of the EvilLyrics idea myself about a week ago, and started implementing it. Finally I found your product. You have done an outstanding job with it so far and it looks like you are still making huge improvements. I don't need to implement it any more, probably; I do hope that you implement the deskbar idea. It would be the easiest way for me to learn the lyrics of songs while continuing to use my computer as normal.
Thank you for your time,
Kandarp

For an example of what this would look like and how it would behave:
Right click on your taskbar and activate the "Links" toolbar.
Click on the word "Links" and drag it to the top of the screen.
If it did not dock, drag it to the top of the screen from where it is.
Right click on the docked Links bar, and activate "Always on top".
Now all other windows will resize to fit between this bar and the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
Try resizing the bar.
Try dragging (from Links) to an open part of the desktop. The toolbar will turn into a free floating window. The free floating window is also resizeable and will stay always on top if you have selected it to.
Minimizing all windows first makes setting up or removing the bar the first time much easier.
Thank You,
Kandarp
