[help] Changing Address Bar In Ie.

I notice that alot of you guys have address bars with more of a round look to it (I guess the you can say the mac look)....is there any way to change the address bars look without installing anything extra or changing anything else?

Thnx in advance,

well to give an example of a helpful post, and to let this youngin get some experience, find the browser "mozilla firefox" on the internet.

its actually better than IE in some respects and its getting easier. THEN go to osx-e.com and find the tutorial for turning it into a mac look. ok? if that doesnt help, let me know.

oh and if you can find a program called "yz toolbar" you can change the buttons in IE. i hope that helps you a LITTLE more than the prev. post

Thnx for the speedy response guys. I have Firefox as well and will check out that link. Now a question I should have included with the first. Is there something I can install that will only change the address bar or IE related things only to get what I'm looking for and if not what is the easiest and most convienent way to do it?

If you only want the addres bar images changed (Firefox) then you'll need to open up the default Firefox theme and change them yourself. The look of IE's address bar is controlled by the visual style that is used.

The short answer is that there is not an easy way to only change the address bar look, in IE or Firefox, unless you have experience altering visual styles/Firefox themes.

I don't know it all but if shown how I can do it. And I thought visual styles only changed the button in the address bar. I want that round edged address bar like on the mac. I see many people with it.

ProLCD from Kol has slightly rounded corners on the address bar. You should be able to make complete half-circles also. Easiest wasy to change visual style elements is to download the trial of StyleBuilder, find the images and edit them.

If you took the time to read more carefully, the poster asked if there was an easier, alternative way after the person had already read the tutorial. I replied, basically telling him that there was not an easier way. I then added on an extremely simple explanation of how to do what he/she wanted to do.

For someone who recently started a thread about how you don't like the way people treat each other, you sure were quick to snap at us. <_<

edit #2: there was no link , this thread has a release that includes the rounded address bar. You'll either have to switch the images youself or wait for an update that uses the corners.

edit #5(?): If noefexx is talking about this tutorial at OSX-E, then the address bar is not rounded, since Safari does not have a rounded address bar.
