Stickies
The stick application sticks sticky applications to the iconbar. An application is a good
candidate for being made into a sticky if its only
interactions take place by clicking on or dragging things to the iconbar
icon. They are a device for lazy programmers who find it simpler
to write some Obey files than wrestle with wimp programming. The stick application is a front end that abstracts out all the wimp
programming needed. An obeyfile (or taskobey file) !Drag determines what happens when an object is dragged to the iconbar
icon. The obeyfiles !Select and !Adjust, if present, determine the actions for mouseclicks on the iconbar
icon.
