Whilst poking around on RubySource recently, I saw that they’d implemented an elegant little toolbar that appears when you scroll down your page:

As far as I can tell this is a custom implementation on top of their WordPress theme. Is there something similar that is already wrapped up in a package or an example demonstrating an implementation of such a toolbar?
(I’m particularly interested in a Rails solution, but this seems rather handily adaptable given any initial prerolled solution.)
Take a look at this article: http://uxdesign.smashingmagazine.com/2012/09/11/sticky-menus-are-quicker-to-navigate/
In the end of it there are several implementations of a similar behavior, which is achieved using js/css since it’s done in the client.
