Petition for Y'z Toolbar Skins

Published on October 2, 2003 By azdruid In WinCustomize Talk

How many fine people here use Y'z toolbar? For those who don't know, it is a sweet little app that lets you skin the Explorer toolbar. WindowBlinds can't do it (yet.) Unfortunately, the author discontinued development on it a while ago, but it still does its job well. I would like to see a section for Y'z skins here on WC even though it is a bit 'old'. If we get enough happy faces here, maybe the Admins will take a look. What do you think, guys?

WindowBlinds skins everything. And I thought that the creator of Y'z toolbar asked people to stop using it for legal reasons.

Y'z Toolbar and Y'z Dock are two completely different programs...for the record.

You can get Y'z Toolbar skins at DesignTechnika. http://www.designtechnika.com/main/modules.php?modid=1&action=cat&id=8

Ah... sorry, my bad.

Yeah...I mean Y'z toolbar. Not the dock. You can change the little icons in Explorer, like Back, Forward and Home? I use ObjectDock and WB, and they can't skin this. Goodmorphing, I did not know that. Where did you see it?

Oh yes...DesignTechnika is where I got what I'm using now, but there certainly aren't a lot and I know WC could do it well...Oh, I don't know. Just a though.

If they ain't gonna add a Rainlender section...why would they add a Y'z Toolbar section?

actually didn't the author of YzDock delete all his code and remove if from all sites he had authorized to release it and then posted requests for anyone running it to remove and delete it because of that junk with (sn)Apple?

just wondering

Hmm...silly me. Sir Hus, you have a good point. Personally, I must try Rainlendar myself. Maybe DA will do a Y'z section...

Really, IPlural? It was a download at DesignTechnika. I was referred there after seeing a screenshot of the app in use and asking what is was. Not sure how Y'z stuff could get messed with by Apple, though. I think there are Aqua icons bundled...is that it? Kinda sad reason, the author could have just taken them out.

Hey wait...This is Y'z TOOLBAR. I think we're discussing two different programs here...

WebBlinds skins IE's toolbar. There are few skins for it here, but not many.

WebBlinds skins IE's toolbar.

But it doesn't skin Explorer toolbars.............. YZ's does.

Yep, I've been using Y'z toolbar to skin the toolbar icons on IE and Explorer.

Quite cool, but there aren't a great many themes, and most of those are Mac related (not bad, but not a lot of real variety

)

I've been playing with porting over some themes from Firebird, but haven't got very far yet(Y'z has more images than firebird, so creation of new images is involved). I'd also have to get permission, though some of the ones I'm working on are GPL'd.

I love it! I would love to see YZ's toolbar skins here.It also makes the nasty old throbber go away.
