Or we could beg stardock to include this capability in IP or WB.

ohhhhh, cool

Have to take a look at it

thanky for the redirect!

Well, since Sir Hus is probably right about adding a Y'z skin section to WC, I guess we gotta beg Stardock to include it in WB. Apparently 4.2 is going to have the power to change the Move/Copy anims, maybe they can also expand this way. Y'z takes no CPU time and *GASP* uses...more memory than WB. But, if Mr. Banfield can write a program that skins the entire system using 2MB of RAM, this shouldn't be too hard. Is Y'z that big? Nooo...Koasati, you are a WC god, ask 'em for support. Throbber? Brainiac, if you mean those "pretty new Luna" icons that Gates cooked up, you are very accurate. Me head pounds just from using XP without OD. Oh wait, that's why I got it...Besides, even though Mac is a LUSER TEAM (you know this because OD does't run on it), they have good icons and I like the iPod. Cheers.

Xendre, perhaps not adding into WB...but re-release the pretty-much only failed program on ODNT...WebBlinds. Instead of making it skin IE...which WB does now...have it do other routine stuff...like a toolbar with hot-links to WC and a web search box with a pop-up stopper...and ofcourse...skinning IE buttons and throbbers. Release it as a part of ODNT or a WC Subscriber benefit...like that WC Tray. You also need not to worry about a section for it...there already is a WebBlinds section.


Just a thought...

Hmm...is this different than ObjectBar? I tried to find some screenshots on DesignTechnika , couldn't find 'em if they are though...

But I'm going on almost zero sleep, so....

It only changes the toolbar icons and removes the throbber.(that ugly little ms flag in the upper right.)click on my user name and zoom for a look

Ah OK thanks....I've been using a reg tweak to turn the throbbers off for so long, I forgot they were there.

Right, Sir Hus, WebBlinds does seem like a "more appropriate" app to integrate this with. I bet it would indeed take off if it had a feature like that...

No offense but I really don't see a big need for SD to integrate those features into one of their applications. Pretty much every browser now except plain IE is coming out a pop-up stopper, you can search from the address bar, get a google bar (which also does pop-up stop), a yahoo, etc etc. I guess skinning IE buttons with WB would be cool, the browsers I use come with skins anyway...I dunno, so many other products to do these things.

stockholm syndrome, the only apprehension I have about a possible integration is that WebBlinds would be a bit too heavy, as in having too much unnecessary features. Frankly, I don't care about IE's toolbar, I use Mozilla Firebird. I just like the Explorer skinning. See, that is why it might be better to stick it in WB. Maybe that is why WebBlinds crashed and burned, because everyone just found a different browser that did it already without having to install something else. It's just that I use Explorer quite a lot, and I really DESPISE those ugly, horrid, "Bill Gates-style" icons. The guy should hire Jairo for Longhorn dev!

I use yztb...just wish their were more themes to choose from.

Oh, I agree. I don't care beans about IE, because Mozilla Firebird is so much better. It's just that since I use Explorer (as in local Windows Explorer) so much, it'd be nice to get away from Microsoft-land as much as possible. Which, of course, is Stardock's motto, right? WebBlinds is too heavy and is (sorry Frogboy) kind-of a failure because everyone is using Opera or Mozilla or Avant or Slimbrowser and so on. Besides, WB already skins IE. Frankly, that is why I think toolbar icon changing support should be built in. Just another feature for WB to take advantage of.

Oops. two submits.

Thats why I think it would work best with Icon packager.

Heh, I'm so slow sometimes....took me awhile to figure out what everyone was requesting, several different ones in here.
Yeah, Windows Explorer icon skinning would be real nice.
