This Windows application is meant to be a total replacement for the [Start Menu]. Eventually, it might grow to be a replacement for the entire shell (explorer).  Commands can be executed single or double clicking. This allows you to easily have 10 to 50 commands or more accessible in one click.

It features [Tcl/Tk] support via [TclBridge], drag and drop, [COM] plugin support with event hooking (please see http://www.liquidtoolbar.com/plugins.html), [DDE] support, "floating" command support, nested commands, auto-hide, and full scriptability.

Was also known as "Joe's Really Spiffy Tcl/Tk Toolbar".  It is now known as LiquidToolbar.

[RS] Was surprised to hear that the above widgetry was all implemented in Visual Basic...

[Joe Mistachkin] Actually, it uses [Visual Basic] for the front-end, [Visual C++] for [TclBridge], and [Tcl/Tk] scripts to automate it. The [COM] plugins/hooks can be written in any [COM] component producing language.
