The first attraction of Hotbar is its instant resource of almost 10,000 (and growing) skins that instantly spruce up Internet Explorer's clinically dreary grey toolbar. Once Hotbar is installed these skins are automatically applied when you select one from the gallery from the Hotbar Web site. However there is more to this browser add-on. Hotbar adds a new bar to IE which is a customisable portal service delivering useful links to many useful Web sites.
