Having an address bar would be great. And personally I don't mind that it (everything) is located at the bottom. Visuals can be improved. I'd be happy when I can add my own images because I am running the dark theme from ImagoDespira
Can you share your source code ? When I'm trying to add gadgets to a WB window nothing shows up. Are you adding gadgets to the NewWindow or to the already opened window ?

But don't know how to "bind" mouse events to such gadget.
You can find UserPort in Window structure. Doesn't GetMsg remove the message from the port. Then one have to put messages back to the port if they don't belong to you. struct MsgPort contains mp_MsgList so maybe it's possible to browse through the list with GetHead+GetSucc.

I wrote to the author if he ok if i will share code with some of you, but it was 10 years ago, i not sure if he alive at all still, or have anything left about amiga :)
But, at least what i have is so buggy and overflown with unnecessary stuff, that this surely only can be used as reference. It simply crashes when you change some strings (like path to images), as well as didn't load properly images, as well as didn't save properly settings , etc , etc. I.e. "core" interesting, idea good, but just those small issues which wasn't fixed :(
For us will be good to have a bar, which we can choose where to show (bottom or top at least) and in which we can have at least for now 3 gadgets : root, left,right. And have ability to choose an images we need for, etc. So it can be or binary with "config.txt" or with tooltypes. After some preferences app can be done, but for first simple "config.txt" will be ideal to play with minimal functional, polish it, living with it for a while to be 100% sure it will be absolutely bug free and stable like rock.
alpha: just keep as minimum, just path gadget and AISS images. No configuration possible. alpha+beta: if no big bugs/crashes/whatever make a minimal config. beta: ..bugfix and more bugfix
@All I tried hard to record a video without a crash of this 10 years old WindowTray patch : i also add AISS icons there, just to make it more good-looking, but I still can't find remove by options this buggy new iconify (which you can see at top), but at least, i was able somehow to navigate a bit, and show how forward/back/home buttons works. Trough when you type path in string-bar, it slows things down to cause crashes as well, etc…
There is:
So exactly this tool, exactly in this form, is veeery buggy. But you get the idea how it can be if it all will be bug free. + ability to have it at top will make it looks more tasty.
And the design can be just almost the same, as:
<HOME> <STRING BAR> <BACK><FORWARD> and that all, something like this:
But both way (bottom and top) will be good to choose from, of course.
I saw Andre on the Amiga38, but didn't manage to talk to him. I'll write to him too, it certainly won't hurt. By the way, I have version 1.7 (04/17/2012) of WindowTray here
Uncheck in its config WB tab "WB-ikonifizieren" option maybe.
Sure, there an option for, it just didn't works as expected: often do nothing, sometime works, sometime not, etc. I.e. whole thing have the lot of small issues.
