Pimp Your Toolbar
Peter Jaros - Tuesday, August 28, 2007 at 08:05 PMEver tried to customize your Camino toolbar and been…disappointed? You call this customization? There, what, about 20 items to choose from, and that’s it! Plus, look at these choices: Back, Forward, Refresh. I mean, they’re useful, sure, but where’s the excitement? Where’s the fun?
“I could think of way better toolbar items than this!”
Good news, my friend. If you can dream it, you can do it! (Well, almost.) Presenting Script Toolbar Items. Just write an AppleScript—any AppleScript—give it an icon if you like, and put it in ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Camino. Now try customizing your toolbar and—my gosh, it’s unbelievable, it’s right in my toolbar!
“Hello, World” icon unwittingly provided by the fabulous iWoot app.
Anything you can do in an AppleScript, you can do from your toolbar. In fact, anything anyone else can do in an AppleScript, you can do from your toolbar.
Hang on, pardner, it’s not out yet. Script Toolbar Items should be landing in the near future, though. Look for it soon (ish) in nightlies, and eventually in Camino 1.6.
In the meantime, think about this: what do you want in your toolbar?

Can’t wait for this to land!

October 2nd, 2007 at 11:23 amIt’ll show up soon. I’ve got a couple little changes to patch, and then it’ll be all set to land. And yes, you’ll see it in the branch builds. School’s back in session, so I’ve been busy lately. It’ll be very soon, though.
