Get Rid Of The Winflag On Ie

the reason why i did this is i don't wanna use any additional app to modify my IE toolbar any more, Y'z toolbar was the greatest one but it messes up sometimes really bad so i have to give it up :(

i modified Iceman's shell32.dll a bit to make it

#4994

what did you modify in the shell file to get that result?

#5119

yea really, is there any guide to change the icons in IE and explorer including changing/hiding IE throbber by altering system files so that we don't have to run Yz Toolbar anymore. Which .dll should be altered for each icons and etc. Sometimes the explorer/IE toolbar messes up when Yz toolbar is running. It also would make it faster I think.

#5131

yeh the main thing that I really care about is the speed, I think it would be considerably faster than y's toolbar

Read this thread guys a little searching is good for the soul READ HERE

shell32.dll-->bitmap-->240, 241, 242

if any one want the replacement, leave your emal here and i can email them to you to save you a few min. but the one i made just work well with "Iceman's Jag aqua-blue", it doesn't fix very well the "brushed" one

one thing in addition, could any one make a replacement that really "animates" when loading pages like the winflag does? 'cuz mine doesn't :(

cheers

#5147

Well could you e-mail it to me??

sid1231983@rediffmail.com

I'll try and make a silver one....like on the real OS X. Let me try the animation bit too.....

BTW I have a registry patch which will disable the throbber on both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer.....doesn't work on Outlook Express though

Sorry, I was refering to how he got the result of having those buttons skinned, not the flag

is that still y's toolbar?

#5236

hmmm guys..

i think i had the original throbbber from ie in mac, let me find it here somewhere, its animated and everything.

#5248

using the modified system files by Iceman, the toolbar buttons do not appear as big enough like when using Yz toolbar, so it does not emulate Mac's IE close enough. How do i modify the system files to make toolbar button bigger ? :)

#5256

okay guys, i just made this using the original ie.

gona be making a brushed one soon.

#5257

how to replace it with the one in the system files? which one (using reshacker)? is it compatible? even though the one that is going to be replaced have different dimension? Thanks :unsure:

#5263

its working fine for me, file is shell32.dll bitmap number 214? something near there, i cant remember from top of my head... and it just has less frames then the windows one.

#5266

yea, i found it, there are bitmap 240, 241, 242, 245, 246, 247 which are related with the throbber. Can I just replace them all with the bitmap animation you have? :unsure:

#5268

yea, i found it, there are bitmap 240, 241, 242, 245, 246, 247 which are related with the throbber. Can I just replace them all with the bitmap animation you have?  

just replace 242 and reboot then open an IE window, and move the menu bar downward as long as you get a large size logo on the corner

you could also resize the 38pix wide animation to 26pix and 22 pix wide to get smaller animation logo

240-->22pix wide

241-->24pix wide

242-->38pix wide (the one you already have here)

forget about 245,246,247, they are for 16 bit color mode and you dun need to touch them unless you run your XP under 16bit color mode all the time :P

cheers

ZzPcPzZ, your ported animation rocks! i'm looking forward to the brushed one :rolleyes:

thanks!

#5314

ZzPcPzZ, your animation rocks but.. can we have a smaller one? that one is too big and it looks as if it's rolling downwards.

#5319

oops... nevermind. i resized it. thanks anyway

Download both here

that should work with iceman's theme perfectly, sorry i didnt make the smaller sizes =[ but just resize them in photosshop, it wont be the best results since the bg wont match the window, but it will be allrite.

#5336

I edited the above to look a little prettier in my humble opinion.... seeing how im not running a aqua-esque desktop theme... i tooke out the gradiant and made it a purely white background.. and changed the color of the logo to a blue tone
