Sometimes it's better to get the working area rectangle instead of the
taskbar rectangle...
var
WorkArea: TRect;
begin
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, @WorkArea, 0);
That's not exactly the opposite of the taskbar, because other bars can
influence it, too (MS Office Shortcut bar etc.). But using the work area
IMO it's easier to find a good location for a popup window.

If you want a tray icon (small icon on the right), then have a look at
RxLib, it has a TrxTayIcon component that does just that.
