And with those you can choose whatever you want to be on that object bar? Folders and applications? Because it definitely allows for less clutter. That start button at the top is a theme?

Right click the desktop, click properties, then go to appearance, and click effects, or advanced, its one of those. Then there should be a check box with the words.."Use large icons on desktop"

Yeah, you can just drag and drop any folder, or file, or program, and then you can even change the icons. A good place to find dock icons is Deviant Art

The start button is a theme, yes. But you have to have a program called WindowBlinds, and its not free either. But you can always download the trial for 60 days
