Reply to Mozilla 1.1 released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

BTW, regarding the tabs, I'm glad to see they're now integrated instead of being a separate install. However, they have a long way to go in that area. I had three or four Mozilla windows open, despite having tabs enabled. For example, clicking on the option to download more themes opened up a new Mozilla browser window. By contrast, I *never* get a second NetCaptor browser window, and that's just the way I want it. I don't want a half-assed tabbed interface, where sometimes new browser wind

I just installed it. They have a "net" version that is very small, and when you go to install, it only downloads what you want. The only two things I downloaded and installed were the browser (a must) and the password manager (or whatever it's called). I didn't install email and news nor bugzilla nor any of that other stuff. It's not that I don't have plenty of disc space; I just didn't have any need for that other stuff, and my experience with Netscape 4.x was that bug reporting can

Reply to Is it possible to hide the desktop icon names/and just have the icon? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

That's not hiding the name, though. That's actually changing the name to a null value. If that doesn't matter to you, that's cool. But I'd rather hide the name without actually permanently getting rid of it. Having said that, I don't use that particular feature in WFX, because there is no tooltip to identify the icon. If you have several items on your desktop with the same icon, you have no easy way to identify them. (Nor could you using your method.) <A HREF="https://www.w

Are you saying this is just a shortcut method of right-clicking on the envelope (in SB) and selecting Mark As Unread? When you allow for us to totally hide threads, then I'll be impressed.

Reply to newbie looking for a wallpaper swapper in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It's logical if you *want* to change your wallpaper manually and not very often. If you have a lot of wallpapers and like to change them frequently, it's not very practical. I have hundreds of wallpapers; I would hate to have to go to Display Properties every time I wanted to change to something else. </

You'll be very happy with Wallpaper Changer, particularly if you like ease of use. When I was looking for a good changer, I would have been willing to pay, but I couldn't even find a commercial program that could do what Wallpaper Changer does. The closest I found was some programs that allow you to load an entire directory, but they don't monitor any changes to that directory. Wallpaper Changer does, and does so recursively. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=full&Ne
