Thanks a lot a guys! I will post a download link soon. The toolbar at its present state doesn't do much but it does demonstrate its flexibility. Sorry for my later reply. I just got home from my work.

mouser: thanks for the SkyIDE encouragement :) Yes, it is pretty tough to compete against teams such as Code::Blocks. I can only try my best....and for some reason, I keep thinking I am not trying hard enough.

Also, yes, this toolbar is quite fun. It exposes me to APIs that I haven't dealt with before. So that's another reason to code it, learning, exploring new stuff. There is one section where I might stall as I don't have a clue how to implement it. I will have to Google around on that. I hope not to spend too much time on it.

Yes, I know what I said above, I am confident I can code it all but I might be able to code a work around :D

I've started work on a brand new project.

Unlike the SkyIDE project, this one is aimed at ordinary desktop users.

It's a little toolbar similar to the MS Office 95 shortcut bar that fits into the title bar but mine will run on steroids -- it will be much more powerful. I believe it will have features not present in any other toolbar program and it will be very flexible.

Some features that I just completed:

Once fitted onto the titlebar, you have two little handles. Grab the left handle and the toolbar expands to the left. Grab the right handle (on the right edge) and it expands to the right. Press Ctrl and grab the right or left handle, the toolbar detaches itself off the titlebar and it is movable.

The rest of the features cannot be disclosed for now :D I have some big ideas and I am confident I can do it all :)


Is there any free screen recording app where I can record a video of what I do in a flash format? I want to show you how it behaves. It is really cool.

app103, thanks for that link.

I have many options on the table now :)
