To install a new Throbber in Mozilla or Netscape, the hard part is finding the "chrome" folder. It *might* be something like

C:\WINNT\Profiles\leighb\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\1jiat6rd.slt\chrome

C:\Documents and Settings\Profiles\leighb\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\1jiat6rd.slt\chrome

One way to find the chrome folder is to go to the email window and click Edit > Mail and Newsgroup Account Settings and then click on Server Settings. Look in the Local directory field at the bottom of this dialog page (you may have to resize the dialog). If you change to that directory, the chrome folder can be found at ..\..\chrome or ../../chrome if you have a non-Windows system.

Once you have found the chrome folder, either edit the existing "userChrome.css" file or create a new file named "userChrome.css". Then add the following lines to userChrome.css:

#navigator-throbber
{
list-style-image : url("still.gif") !important;
}
#navigator-throbber[busy="true"]
{
list-style-image : url("throb.gif") !important;
}

Now copy the still GIF that you want to use to still.gif in the chrome folder and copy the animated GIF to throb.gif in the chrome folder. Restart Netscape or Mozilla and throb away.
