No there is no option yet. It may be possible to move the Start button to just above the notification area (system tray). However the Start button will then no longer be in one of the screen's corners making it harder to target with the mouse. Corners are easier to target because you can just shove the mouse pointer into the corners and click to access any corner buttons. Also, the Windows Start button will have to be hidden. I don't think this feature is planned by Ivo because it has little advantage in terms of usability.
The usability benefit that I see is that as of now, my start orb is in the upper left corner. I click on it, then move the cursor down several inches to access the programs menu. If the start orb were down (just above the systray), I could simply move immediately to the right, after clicking the start orb, to access my programs. But I realize that few people would use this feature, as most simply have the taskbar along the bottom.
