Google Deskbar API

Google launched the Google Deskbar API, allowing developers to add their own Deskbar plug-ins using languages of the .NET framework (such as C# or Visual Basic.NET).

The “Google Deskbar Plug-in Development Kit” at the Google Deskbar API homepage helps you get started, and the Deskbar API discussion group is open for questions.
