By now I'm sure you've either used or at least heard of the Winamp Toolbar. If not, you should download the Winamp Toolbar for Internet Explorer and Firefox and give it a try.

Download The Winamp Toolbar

The toolbar is great because it allows you to control Winamp from right on top of your browser. But sometimes that's not enough. Although it's nice to have Winamp controls always available, the problem is that you're not always using your browser. Especially if you're at work. Wouldn't it be nice to keep your Winamp controls on top of your screen regardless of which application you're using? The good news is that you can... and it's actually pretty simple. All you have to do is set-up Winamp to be a docked toolbar.

Step 1:
Expand your Winamp Media Player to fit your full screen


Step 2:
Click on the Windowshade toggle (to put Winamp into the Windowshade mode).
Windowshade Mode


Step 3:
Right Click in the gray area of the Windowshade (toolbar) and select Window Settings > Docked Toolbar and use the following settings:
- Deselect "Auto-Hide"
- Select "Always on Top"
- Select Location (Top or Bottom)

Step 4:
If you select the above settings, and open another software application (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.)... you'll notice that the newly opened application will automatically re-size around your docked Winamp toolbar. Allowing it to always remain visible.


Note:
- To undo simply deselect "Always On Top", and select "Not docked".

One part genius. Three parts llama. And a sprinkling of corporate AOL. That's what Winamp is all about.
