IconBar is a NeXT's dock-like application working on MS-Windows 3.1. It allows you to setup your own applications as icons in a bar and launches any program you like by double-clicking your left mouse button or pressing ENTER key. You can setup up to 50 window applications, which are good for deli usage. When icons are too many to fit in one column, IconBar automatically generates a pageup/pagedown icon for user to scroll. Thus, you can easily locate your icons without any effort. In addition to mouse interfaces, keyboard interfaces were supported as well.
This application was designed for one who love icons. Not like other screen-blocking programs, IconBar always keeps a clean workplace on one side of your monitor screen and popups child-windows only on requests. So you are not busy to move or close other windows to find more rooms on screen. Furthermore, you can set it Always on top if you like. It is also a tidy program that takes about 60 KB memory to run. However, it is tidy but full-functional. You will enjoy the way to do with it.
The main purpose of this application is to provide Windows users with a better tool to run your frequently used programs. With it, you don't have to remember which program is inside which group file. Just following the principle of WYSIWYG ("What you see is what you get"), you point the mouse cursor to the icon on IconBar and double-click on it, then open the program you want. Since the setup of IconBar is as easy as nothing, you can organize your favorite applications on your own. Once they are built up, they are ready for you to use.
Note: To install, decompress to directory or choice.
