It would be nice if we had a Toolbar with a choice of backgrounds to which we could add if we wished, a Toolbar which was not restricted to merely containing buttons, a Toolbar which had a visual designer which could reload previously created Toolbar code, a Toolbar which is XP theme aware but could override the XP theme colour if desired, a Toolbar which doesn't move every other control down the form, and doesn't use resources by continually firing onUpdate() code. A Toolbar which is easy to use even for the novice.

The rmToolBar is a paintbox based custom control which is designed to achieve these goals.
