You can remove the microsoft throbber!

from WinCustomize Forums
this webpage has a way to remove it. http://toastytech.com/evil/lab.html#throboff
Even tho it claims to be for win98,it worked perfect on winXP.There are 2 reg entries to be clicked in the zip file.I didnt even have to unzip them(self-installing,no reboot),then just reset your views the way you want them.My toolbars look fantastic!(the way I designed them)

Yes, we had another thread with this subject a little time ago. It made me a very happy man, I hate that throbber. Without it the system looks so much better.

You can skin it with WindowBlinds, but has the same issue as the Go button where it sticks.

However Explorer requires to be restarted as I said it has the same issue as the Go button because it sticks.

I hadn't looked at that skin in ages but tested it last night to see if the throbber still runs and it does.

Have a look in .ToolBarIcons with notepad the code is hidden. Theres 3 vertical strips for the throbber, as Explorer uses the first state image in all 3.

Web-blinds had/has the ability to change the throbber, I would think that it would be fairly simple to include that feature with WindowBlinds.

Ofcourse I'm just assuming.
