Throbber for firefox 0.8, Mozilla 1.5 and 1.6
             =============================================

What is a throbber?

A throbber is the nice little icon in your favourite browser
placed on the upper right edge, normally displaying the
Firefox/Mozilla logo. This icon can be replaced with this
designer throbber. :-)


Therefore the files:

aktiv.gif
inaktiv.gif
userchrome.css

have to be placed in the folder

    ...\profiles\default\xxxxxxxx.slt\chrome

 - that's all!

The default path for this folder is on Win 9x/ME platforms

German:   c:\Windows\Anwendungsdaten\Mozilla\Profiles\default\<CODE>.slt\chrome
English:  c:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\<CODE>.slt\chrome

whereas Win2000/XP use

German:   C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\<USERNAME>\Anwendungsdaten\Mozilla\Profiles\default\<CODE>.slt\chrome
English:  C:\documents and settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\<CODE>.slt\chrome

as default.


Under win98 "ffthrob.exe" will do the job for you - extract
the archive "ffthrob.zip" to a directory of your choice and
execute "ffthrob.exe" - but make shure before, that there
isn't already a file "userchrome.css" (normaly it isn't!).
If you have created this file before, you must place the
files manually in the approriate folder to avoid the
existing "userchrome.css" being replaced. In this case,
launch your favourite text editor and add the few new lines
of "userchrome.css" at the end of your existing file.
"ffthrob.exe" does not work on WinNT/W2k/XP platforms!

The throbber has not been tested on Mozilla versions > 1.5
but should work on those version as well as on future
releases, as long as the method of inserting a user defined
throbber remains identical.

Have fun!
