browser skins
 
On ow-web in the download section you can find browser skins to download. What are browser skins? and why is there always poping up a window?

kanastra 05-07-2001 04:50 PM

These skins are to be used with hotbar!
Hotbar is a software that interacts with your browser(IE or Netscape) putting a background picture in your browser's toolbar!
The skins are very cool!
I use the sligs one. :cool:

freakyLA 05-07-2001 05:29 PM

aha but that means.I have to download the software. And then the background of the Internet explorer is the picture that I can download there?

kanastra 05-12-2001 10:05 PM

I think so.
once you have hotbar installed you just have to click the picture to install the skin.
It is very easy.

I hate Hotbar. I got it ages ago and I seem to remember there being a lot of ads when I was trying to download it and get skins for it. It slows down your PC and all it does is add a little picture at the top of your browser. I found it generally pretty useless, so I got rid of it.

freakyLA 05-13-2001 05:41 AM

my Pc is slow. So it would better for me to not download hotbar (is this sentence corect???)
Isn´t there any other possibility to use the browser skins??

Oddipus 05-13-2001 06:26 AM

I have a rather slow pc too, but hotbar doesn't bother me. I get the nice skins perfectly. Freaky, try installing it, and if you don't like it: toss it off your pc.

freakyLA 05-13-2001 06:34 AM

Ok so I´ll get it.
Hey oddipus what does your signature says?

Cloverfield 05-14-2001 03:32 AM

I've never had a problem with Hotbar... thus the reason for putting the skins up on Oddworld-Web. I used to run it on my old slow PC without any problems.

Occasionally (as in once or twice a month) I will get a popup ad from Hotbar, and you can customize the buttoms so you see the categories you like (like I have mine set to Games and Sport).

My signature:
I tought it was clear? But if not I'll explain:

Mudy sounds like moody. Moody comes from mood, like in having a bad mood. Don't get moody would mean: stay happy. But Mudy, (deriverd from Mudokons), looks more Oddworld-style.

Good?
Or do you think I should change it?
Or maybe Pacen could make ME a nice signature banner TOO :D . And therefor you can use the killing-bonus pictures I posted.

Pacen 05-14-2001 07:51 AM

uh, I guess I could make a banner for you but you'll have to be pretty specific about what you want it to look like because I'm no good with the creative stuff. Although I think you're current sig's good, it's original too. FreakyLA didn't understand it because she's German and probably thought it was a real English word.

Oddipus 05-14-2001 01:24 PM

Ok, everybody, behold the masterpiece Pacen made for me (with my instructions off course :D ):

MY NEW SIGNATURE

freakyLA 05-14-2001 02:37 PM

I like your banner much. Ok ok, forgot the killing bonus screen. I allready gotthe bonus, too.
Pacen, could you please make a banner for me???

freakyLA 05-14-2001 02:52 PM

And: PAcen is right I only ask because i thought it was an English word.
You didn´t realized that I´m German?
WOW! :eek: Is my english that good????

Oddipus 05-14-2001 06:59 PM

NO No no Freaky. I DID know you were German (you've said that enough times before :p ), but I just wasn't to sure of my own sig. My English isn't perfect either because I'm a European too, but I guess most of you allready knew that.

Pacen 05-14-2001 09:14 PM

I would try to make you a banner FreakyLA, but you've already asked Abe Babe and she's agreed to it. I believe she'll be able to make a great banner anyway. Also, I just don't have the time to make everybody a banner.

Dakkan Blackblade 05-14-2001 10:12 PM

I like both oddipus and pacens bannerz!

Pacen 05-14-2001 11:22 PM

Thanks Dakkan, I like them too. :D

Oddipus 05-15-2001 04:55 AM

Yes, Thanx Dakkan, and Pacen!

freakyLA 05-15-2001 03:35 PM

where are you from oddipus?
Ah yes abebabe will make one! That´s cool.
Soon I´ll have my own banner! Cool!!! :)

Oddipus 05-15-2001 04:04 PM

When you press http://www.oddworldian.net/oddworldf...ofile_ubb6.gif you can see somebody's profile. When you click mine, you will see I'm from Belgium.

Back to browser skins: you can download the neoplanet browser and a lot of skins for it at www.neoplanet.com Have fun!

Alector 09-08-2001 11:48 AM

I can't use hotbar, it has conflicts and problems with Yahoo, i have Yahoo messenger. I wanted to download a browser skin, but they wanted that i choose between Hotbar and Yahoo, i chosen Yahoo... but it doesn't matter. I can live without browser skins :D

abe333 09-14-2001 07:41 AM

can someone give me an exact link to the pages with oddworld browsers, pplleeaaassseee

Cloverfield 09-14-2001 08:54 AM

I don't think there are any actual Oddworld Browsers on that site... but you can get Browser Skins here.

All I can say, is stay tuned closer to Munch's Oddysee for something more... I don't want to give out details yet.
