After two years of development, CustomBar 1.0 has now been released. This Windows utility allows you to run a customizable and skinnable bar as an appbar. CustomBar behaves similiar to the taskbar, but allows you to place numerous widgets on the bar. Examples include
Winamp info & controls
System information
Search
Address box
Mini Notepad
Template copier
Shorcut menus and buttons
Recycle bin quick-empty
Plus much more
The open-ended design allows people to script new additions and to write their own plugins. The program is also fully skinnable. The goal is to give as much control to users as possible, allow people to make their own creations and to put what they want on their bar. The flexibility of the system makes this a toy in addition to a terrific way to add sanity to the Windows UI.
