I can do this with locked bars, in fact that's what I'm doing now. I have a vertical bar containing icons only, locked adjacent to another vertical bar containing checkbox buttons. One advantage of a separate icon bar vs. embedding icons in the checkbox bar, is that I can associate an action to each icon. I couldn't do that with embedded icons. But locked bars have their peculiarities. Here are two: If the locked bars aren't ontop, and one is dragged, the other one will follow it but it will slide under other windows. It looks weird, it's like if a window slices your bar! If you drag one of the bars out of the screen, the other one will follow until it hits the top or bottom screen edge, then it stops moving with the apparent effect of starting to slide against the bar that's being dragged. Curiously, it happens only with the top and bottom screen edges. Instead left and right boundaries can be trespassed when dragging the bars. The code necessary to keep the two bars in sync isn't too difficult to write, but it's sizeable and probably full of undiscovered corner cases. One final observation about controls; they look very plain, almost boring. I can't find a way to set a background or text color, or a bitmap. They just don't match the look of any of my bars.
