ToolbarDesigner

ToolbarDesigner is an intuitive program that comes in handy when you want to create your own personalized toolbars, which can be integrated into Internet Explorer with ease.

Despite its outdated look, the provided interface is accessible and well-organized, consisting of the elements panel and the preview window, along with the settings and a actions tabs. It's recommended to check the help file to get familiarized with how the app works.

You can start by filling in a few general information, such as toolbar's name, hint, project's name, version, company's name and website. You can enter the URLs that lead you to the support, updates and toolbar project pages.

The app lets you add the links that are displayed once the toolbar is installed, uninstalled and updated. All the changes are visible in real time.

The next step is to insert as many labels as you want by giving them a caption and an index image. For the icons to be displayed, you first have to load them from the drive. The supported file formats are BMP, JPG, JPEG and ICO.

ToolbarDesigner comes packed with a few action examples you can use and gives you the option to make your own. The actions can vary from opening a new link to running an app.

Similar steps are applied for the other toolbar elements, like combo box, button and separator. For the drop-down menu, you have the choice to add multiple items and set their properties (e.g. action, caption, icon).

The toolbar can be saved as a TD file or packed as an executable. You have the option to insert the toolbar into your Internet Explorer web browser by copying the resulted files into the app's destination folder.

To sum it up, ToolbarDesigner is an approachable utility created to offer simple ways to design and compile personalized toolbars for Internet Explorer.
