There was something like Pictures and Animation on Browser Toolbar...

Sometime ago, I came across a website which offered pictures etc. on Internet Explorer Toolbar. It does not install any toolbar just applies pictures and BMPs on the Internet Explorer Toolbar instead of its gray background.

Can somebody suggest that URL?

It's a registry setting - see here: http://www.ieinfosite.co.uk/tip_view.asp?id=94
Older versions of IE actually had a background bitmap set by default (some subtle wavy image), but it looked really cheesy.

Now taking suggestions for the next release of CPhog...

Ah yes, IE 3. That was the first time people were seeing the rebar, so MS had to use all of the rebar's features just to show it off. Wink | ;)

the built in quick links toolbar in Firefox is good enough for me. Saves screen estate too.

But in YahooToolbar, there is an excessive time delay in loading and initialising toolbar buttons since each of the value depends on your particular profile like 'Unread emails' etc. Is'nt it?

I use the Yahoo bar mostly for my (150 or so) bookmarks in the Bookmarks button. I haven't found a better place to keep or access my bookmarks.

I gave up using the Google stuff because it conflicted with other toolbars.
Now i'm only using the CP SearchBar for obvious reasons and my Explorer Tools[^] bar for rapid Wikipedia searching & navigation.

As I'm writing data input using SQL Sever databases and a web page for input/update/display etc. it was a nuisance and didn't follow our software standards. I didn't really find the toolbar a problem in itself.

Mind you, when it first haappened it took me ages to find out why ! Big Grin | :-D

I guess it can be turned off, if you go to the Toolbar options page and for the Autocomplete feature.

Lots of useless buttons, one gem

I find these toolbars to be 90% useless. Sadly the reamining 10% is very useful. So you end up with this big toolbar across your window with 50 buttons and you end up using two of them and forgetting the rest.

It is a shame companies don't make browser buttons more. I'd far rather have an assortment of easy to install and rearrange buttons than one big branded toolbar.

Right now, I have the Blinklist[^] toolbar installed. I use two of the 10 buttons on it but they are such useful buttons I put up with the others. As for the Google, MSN, Yahoo etc. toolbars I don't much see the point since Firefox has the customisable search box in the top right.

Yup. My favorite Google Toolbar feature (a button to navigate "up" in a URL) is now a single button next to my address bar in Firefox. Smile | :)
