ToolbarButton: An implementation of appearance-compliant 'cicn' buttons with optional web-browser-style appearance, animation and visual feedback for different states of the button (normal, pushed and when mouse is over)

LPreferences: The simplest way to handle a preferences file within your application. One line of code takes care of everything. Includes option to nest your file into a folder of your choice (within the user's Preferences folder).

LTooltipAttachment: Highly customizable implementation of tooltips. Allows to specify the delay until appearance, text style and colors for each individual tooltip.

LTemporaryFileArray: Looks and behaves almost identically to the LArray class, except that it uses a temporary file as its storage location instead of RAM. Supports fixed and variable sized elements, and comes with an additional class, LTableFileStorage, to implement disk-based storage of PowerPlant tables.

LInternetButton: Appearance Manager-compliant text button that implements clickable URLs within your windows, with different text traits for normal and pushed states and sound feedback wherever an Appearance Manager soundset is enabled.
