Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by surveying PowerToys' existing desktop utilities and Windows shell integration to determine where a dock and menu bar could fit. Done would require an agreed scope and a working macOS-style dock that can replace the taskbar, including the requested date and time display.
