What it is

EverythingToolbar is a Windows taskbar deskband that integrates the Everything file search engine, enabling instant full-text file search directly from the taskbar. It wraps Everything's IPC protocol (via native C SDK in EverythingSDK/) with a WPF UI (ToolbarControl.xaml in EverythingToolbar.Deskband/) and supports custom filters, regex-based actions, and automatic theme switching for Windows 10/11. Hybrid C#/C architecture: EverythingSDK/ (C/native) wraps the Everything IPC protocol into a DLL; EverythingToolbar.Deskband/ (C# WPF) implements the taskbar deskband using CSDeskBand.cs (COM deskband wrapper), with UI logic in ToolbarControl.xaml.cs; EverythingToolbar.Launcher/ is a standalone…

Start here

Open these first:

  • EverythingToolbar.Deskband/CSDeskBand.cs — Core deskband implementation that integrates the toolbar into Windows taskbar; defines the primary COM interface for the…
  • EverythingToolbar.Deskband/ToolbarControl.xaml.cs — Main UI controller for the taskbar search interface; handles search logic, Everything SDK queries, and result display.
  • EverythingToolbar.Deskband/Server.cs — IPC server that enables communication between the deskband process and launcher/settings processes.
  • EverythingSDK/src/Everything.c — Native C wrapper around Everything IPC protocol; essential for all file search queries.
  • EverythingToolbar.Launcher/Launcher.cs — Entry point for the launcher utility; handles setup and integration registration.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/srwi/EverythingToolbar.git, then open EverythingToolbar.sln in Visual Studio 2022+. Install dotnet tools via dotnet tool restore (see .config/dotnet-tools.json). Buil…

Daily commands:

Build in Visual Studio or via dotnet build (no npm/yarn used). After building, the deskband DLL must be registered on Windows via COM registry (handled by installer or installer script in EverythingToolbar.Launcher/).…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 92% of recent commits
  • Everything service must be running and discoverable via IPC (windows message queues or named pipes) before the deskband can function—silent failures if service is missing. COM deskband registration requires admin…
  • License evidence is incomplete or ambiguous.
  • Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
