MiniBar

The do-Organizer MiniBar is a free floating toolbar that appears on your desktop. This small utility is active when you first run do-Organizer and can stay active for as long as you wish. The buttons on the MiniBar are quick access to the sections and tools of do-Organizer. So you can close the main window of do-Organizer and have the MiniBar running with low resources enabling you to access email, bookmarks or other records with minimum effort.

It works like a normal toolbar. To move the MiniBar around your desktop, left click and hold down the mouse on the cross on the left of the MiniBar.

do-Organizer comes with some different layouts, here are some examples:

A classic horizontal MiniBar, designed to fit on the top or bottom of your desktop:

A classic horizontal MiniBar with captions removed and only icons showing:

A vertical MiniBar that is better for the left or right hand side of your desktop:

Uncheck "Show MiniBar at Startup" and choose "Show: Last used Section" to only have the last section you visited, eg: Contacts, shown without the MiniBar being displayed.

You can create your own MiniBar definitions or edit an existing definition if the common tools are not to your liking. You could create your own bar with only Contacts and URLs if you wish.
