Getting rid of the tools in Windows. by .blade// on 10-05-2004 at 03:20 PM

I want to know if there is a way to get rid of the tools that show up in windows, and only display them in my Customized top-bar. To get the top-bar and other effects I'm using Icon Packager, Object Dock, Objectbar and Windowblinds. Screenshot below.

Is the top menu actually clickable? What Plugins do you have for FireFox?

The topbar is actually clickable, and it isn't a firefox plug-in...

:dodgy: yes, I just happen to have a couple thousand dollars laying around for a new PC :dodgy:


Besides - I like the MAC OS X interface, but I like being able to use all of the Windows Programs...

They are MAC OS X things I got from http://www.wincustomize.com

I used Windowblinds for the over-all theme, Objedt Dock for the OS X like bottom dock, Objectbar for the OSX top bar, and IconPackager for the OsX Icons.

Thanks for those. Wincustomize seems to be down right now (too much traffic) so I'll try again later today after school :). Thanks again :).

Couple of questions:

1) Does that theme come with Windows Blinds? If not which one are you using?

2) Only Object Dock is freeware; do the other ones expire (Object Bar and Icon Packager)?

3) Does Object Dock contain any adware/spyware or is it free with no hidden attachments (makes me wonder since the other two are paid programs)?

That bar is NOT default in windows, so it's prolly from windowblinds, check it out and remove it.

blade wants that and wants to remove the toolbar in standard windows
