Titlebar

--------

I think that "xCap" from methodik can do this. I no longer have the program and meth's site has been done for a while. >_)

I personally would like to have it again.

Anyway, I'm thinking that ShellWM could also do the job.

Firefox Icon

------------

Change the window icon

You can change Firefox's default window icon to any icon you want, by following these steps:

1. Go to the folder you installed Firefox in (e.g. C:Program FilesMozilla Firefox) and then go to the subfolder chrome.

2. While in chrome, create a new subfolder called icons, then go to that folder and create yet another subfolder called default. The full path to this folder could be C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxchromeiconsdefault.

3. Choose the icon you want to use (on Windows use .ico files, on Linux use .xpm files) and then place it in this folder and rename it to main-window.[ext], e.g. main-window.ico on Windows and main-window.xpm on Linux.

to change the icon of a exe file use resource hacker, you can change the firefox icon to a safari one pretty easily

okay well if you open firefox.exe in res hacker there will be a bunch of folders open the folder icon group then it will have three more folders open one of them and click its contents (its a weird green icon) it will be the firefox icon group right click the green icon and go down to replace resource. another windows will open, click the open file with new icon button choose the safari icon you want and press okay then on the right side click replace do this for all three icon groups,once your done save the document and use that file to open firefox. you can use the same process on any dll or exe file you want. have fun

I don't see the need to mess up with reshacker: Firefox offers lovely settings, even for the window icons otherwise you can use extensions such as fireSomething.

if you do mess up, or you want to go back to original res hacker makes an original copy of the file when you save.. so no harm done

but if you upgrade the browser, you have to do it again :slant: Adding an icons folder and putting the icons inside it is easier for the average user, less obtrusive, and remains if you upgrade

If all you want to do is change the name of the Firefox window, look for the "firesomething" extension, it will allow you to set the name of Firefox to Safari (or whatever else you want).
