Screenbar modules are plugins which can populate the empty area on the screen title bar with some useful information and functionality. The modules are visible on every (MUI) screen, which makes them more useful than, for example, Panel Objects which are only seen on the Ambient screen and can be left under some other windows.
Screenbar modules can be enabled and disabled from the screen depth gadget menu. The menu also contains options to arrange the order of the modules and to change their settings. The menu can be accessed by right clicking, or with a long left press, over the screen depth gadget.
Here is a list of the built-in modules and their characteristics.

3rd Party Modules
3rd party modules should always be installed in the SYS:Classes/Screenbar directory. The Modules->Rescan option from the screen depth menu activates the newly installed modules without a reboot.
There's a good amount of 3rd party modules ranging from small funny gadgets to more serious and informative ones, and they can be found for example here.
