Request: Hover toolbar - A way to get extra space

My request is simple: that you can select a "hover toolbar", which replaces the normal one when you hover your mouse over the tlb... when you move your mouse out of the tlb area, it goes back to normal.



The idea is most controls either mainly show information but don't do much when you click them (netmon, mbm, etc), or are mainly functional but don't display any information (there are some exceptions, e.g. the volume control). So when your mouse is over the bar all you really want are your functional controls because you're ready to do something. But when your pointer is somewhere else, there's no point your shortcuts/menus just sitting there.

Hope you like (and implement) my idea... as you can see, I like to keep a very compact bar

Excelent idea! I'd definately use this if it were implemented!

I'm working on extended version of auto sensing. New version will support not only the running or active applications but also many other conditions. All these conditions will be released as external modules so it will be easy to add something. The suggestion of quietbritishjim will be released too

Thank you very much!
