Developing better toolbars - Floating tool bar

I am continuing to work with multiple True Launch Bars. I have a main True Launch Bar toolbar docked in task bar (normal standard location) I have a 2nd toolbar at top of screen and now I am testing the function of a True Launch Bar floating toolbar. I am trying to recreate function of Office XP TASK PANE. So far it works to some extent. If you cannot understand my descriptions below please view MS Word XP with TASK PANE turned on.



Please do not misunderstand my post. I am not trying to make floating True Launch Bar inside Word or Office but rather showing on the ACTIVE DESKTOP. I have my home page turned on and I want to use a True Launch Bar floating task pane to the side of my home page.



Here is my feedback and request.

+ Implement ‘tear off toolbars’ It is time consuming and troublesome to have to recreate each toolbar position and setting if it is needed to close True Launch Bar for some reason (such as version upgrade)

+ True Launch Bar separator bars do not function as such in floating toolbar. It would be very helpful to have separator bar in floating toolbar place itself horizontally across the toolbar and act like separator within virtual folder with user created titles etc.

+ If I dock the True Launch Bar floating toolbar all popup (or drop down) menus act correctly by popping OUT to the SIDE of True Launch Bar BUT in floating toolbar such menus drop directly down obscuring other buttons. It would be consistent if they popped out to the SIDE.

** Special note – Version 1.1.0.17 now has excellent unicode drag and drop – I have tested with Japanese and Chinese URL’s and they can be dropped to True Launch Bar easily. Thank you.

Very interesting way of use True Launch Bar
‘tear off toolbars’ is impossible to make using standard methods. I search for way to make this feature. The other two requests I'll implement soon.
Thank you.
