Does anyone know of any skins for IE7? Is skinning for IE7 even possible?

I am looking for skins for IE7 that will go well with Luna Element 5 theme, I find IE7 looks really ugly in this theme, as well I dont want to use any of that software that u have to pay for such as Windowsblinds and/or StyleXP. It would be cool to have skins just for IE7 without the use of 3rd party software.

From what I've read and the fact that you can't even use a bit map anymore to change the toolbar background I would venture a guess that MS made it impossible to skin IE7. Probably part of the new security features in IE7.

But who knows, maybe there is a Reg entry somewhere that can control this.

OT.... is there an override in IE7 for the download directory like there was in IE6? Seems to default to My Documents. Overriding it during a save will change it for a while but eventually it will revert back to My Documents.

Stay away from the evil stardock aswell! Short answer is if you need to skin a browser use firefox.

otherwise. keep using IE7

Simple

well actually you are wrong, what if FF is not an option? like it isnt for me since i keep getting big cpu loads with animated gifs, this shouldnt be about FF or IE, is about how to skin IE7, FF just doesnt work for some people...

i say you go with windowblinds.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
