screen buttons to launch AHK scripts?

[surfactant]

Is it possible to create a dedicated taskbar which can be docked on the screen side and hold some buttons created to launch AHK scripts?

Thanks!

you can do a new Toolbar like this: Choose a folder, put your favorite scripts in there.

Thank you for sharing your solution! It would be great if some buttons can be simply exposed on the screen to facilitate frequent use.

Nobody can give some suggestions?

Thanks!

A "toolbar" like the taskbar that takes its own reserved space and pushes other windows aside is called an appbar. So all you would need to do is to create an AHK Gui with buttons to launch your scripts, and transform that Gui into an appbar. Just search for "appbar" in this forum and you'll find a couple of example scripts that do exactly that (and also a few links to more working scripts on the old AHK forum). Here is an example:

@lblb Thank you for your information about appbar!
