Quidquid
version 1.0
by Ernest Tomlinson

Quidquid is a utility designed after the model of Control Strip for Macintosh.  Quidquid draws a small, horizontal, strip-shaped window, affixed to the bottom right corner of the screen.  Add-ons or "modules" can create a view, preferably a small one, along this window, and use it for drawing, popping up menus, or any other purpose.  Clicking the zoom button on the title bar of Quidquid's strip "rolls up" the window and hides all of the modules' rectangles.  Click the zoom button again, and all the modules reappear.
These modules are stored in a directory called, curiously enough, "modules" located in the same directory as contains the Quidquid executable.

I've included one example of a Quidquid module, a "ClockModule", which displays the time of day, and allows the font and its size to be changed using a popup menu.

To write a module for Quidquid, derive a class from "StripModule" as defined in StripModule.h; code for the ClockModule module is included to give some idea of how a Quidquid module ought to be written.
