Toolkit for making Windows Taskbar Tool Application?

Question

I'm making a small tool application that user can minimize in the taskbar. I'm sure I've seen a toolkit for it in some blog a few years ago. I'm basically just looking for a project template that perhaps has ready-made functionality for:

• minimizing to taskbar
• right-click menus
• animated small notification pop-up windows (like MS Messenger or Outlook)

Does anyone know if such a toolkit or framework exists?

I doubt any toolkit exists. This is rather easy to do.
