  iGoogleBar is a Firefox extension that
  adds Google Apps favicons to the Google Apps Bar,
  using them as triggers for the Apps' respective iGoogle Gadgets.
  In the screenshot below, you can see how this can be used
  to check your calendar from inside Docs.
  It also shows unread counts
  from Gmail and Reader!
  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  Can I customize which Apps are displayed in the bar?

  
  
  Yes, to some extent.
  
  

  
  
  You need to go to about:config in Firefox,
  right-click on the list of preferences and choose
  New > String.
  The name of the preference must be bolinfest.igooglebar
  and the value must be a comma-delimited list from the following set:
  
  

  • Gmail
    
  • Calendar
    
  • Documents
    
  • Photos
    
  • Groups
    
  • Reader
    
  • Notebook
    

  
  
  Personally, my value for this preference is
  Gmail,Calendar,Reader,Documents
  
  

  Features you probably wish I would add
  but likely won't because I don't have time:

  
  
  

  • Provide a nicer customization interface than about:config.
    
  • Include your favorite Google product as an option for the bar
    
  • Let you add your own links and specify your own gadgets
    
  • Support Google Apps – currently, this only works
    correctly in personalized Gmail, Calendar, etc.
    
  • Provide the option for the iGoogle gadgets to be tear-offs instead
    of simply pop-ups
    
  • Include the "more" dropdown in the bar.
    (Sorry, it was easier to clobber the contents of the bar rather
    than preserve the "more" link.)
    
  • Add a dropshadow to the popup
