tlbHost v1.1 beta released for testing

Can we get a short explanation of what exactly HOST does???

Maybe the name tlbHost is not so good.
As you know it is impossible to run True Launch Bar without explorer. TLB this is tlb.dll only. Explorer loads this DLL and run code from it.

tlbHost do same work. But now you don't need windows explorer.

What do we use it for?

As I said later tlbHost is the only way to run True Launch Bar under alternative shell like Aston, LiteStep etc. Also you can use tlbHost to make toolbars with custom auto-hide options: show/hide delay times and effects.

In the future I plan to make tlbHost as portable True Launch Bar to run from USB drives. And the in the next versions I'll make a skinning

On the surface, it appears to be a "Holding area" for multiple TLBs;
but what do I know???

Currently one toolbar contain one TLB. You can create a many toolbars as you want and dock them to any side of desktop.
