Making Buttons I had a play this evening making a custom button for Windows Live Toolbar Windows Live Toolbar Custom Buttons The Windows Live Toolbar can easily be customized by adding and creating buttons for your favorite web sites. Make a button to search within any web site, provide convenient shortcuts and links, or keep your users informed through an RSS feed or a mini-browser window that displays your own web content. Custom buttons are easy to make and can be shared through Windows Live Gallery. Each custom button is as simple, declarative XML file. That XML file is packaged with button icons into a single .cab file. This link provides you detailed information about how to make custom buttons for the Windows Live Toolbar. This is the XML for my button Which makes it look like this in the Windows Live Toolbar Pretty neat huh? I’ve got links and live feeds. I’ll tweak it a bit more and if there is any interest, I will publish it out to the Windows Live Toolbar Gallery.

Although having a feeds-reader already, it is kind of redundant.
