The bookmarks toolbar is a toolbar, if that's what you mean, I have no idea ( don't know if that's possible to do). But in the link StumbleUpon is mentioned. They do this:

It looks like the are using the approach I explored in part one. I had StumbleUpon installed for a while and whilst I never looked into it, it looks definitely as though they used that approach rather than this one

Now you got me hooked, please let me know if I understood you and if the first approach is the kind of thing you are looking for (all though the tutorial is very basic)

edit - From a quick google search other developers that make tutorials on "how to create a toolbar" are simply adding a navigation bar on the page, so, yes if that's what you want, this is not what you need, the first tutorial is for you.

Well, I basically wanted to REPLACE original bookmarks toolbar, like this:
toolbar

Only way to do that is to use a content script (like in your first tutorial). To add my div to the body and position it. That's all I want.. :D
