Instructions on how to modify the throbber on Netscape 7 
and Mozilla 1.0 (or higher).


Browsers based on Mozilla <http://www.mozilla.org/> are highly 
configurable. The instructions provided here explain how to change the 
throbber (the picture normally found in the upper right corner of your 
browser) to a Def Leppard related picture.  In this case, the picture is 
an animated version of the cover for the album "X".  To enable the new 
throbber, follow these instructions.

Note: Be careful when following the instructions.  You should not need to 
erase or overwrite any existing files.  If you run across a file that 
already exists, the instructions will tell you what you need to _add_.  
Good luck.

These instructions have been tested only with Netscape 7 and Mozilla 1.1, 
though they should still work with Netscape 6.2 and Mozilla 1.0.


1) Unzip the downloaded file "throbber.zip" to someplace handy.  Your 
Desktop is a good place. 

1a) Mac users should double click on "throbber.zip" and StuffIt Expander 
will create a folder called "throbber Folder" with the contents of the 
zip file.

1b) Windows users will need WinZip or some other unzipping program to 
extract the contents of the file.

1c) Unix users can unzip the file with the command "unzip throbber.zip".


2) Find where your profile information is stored.  Use the following list 
to find the location based on your operating system.  "profile_name" is 
often "Default" if you're the only user.  "salted_name" is a 
folder with eight random letters and ending in ".slt".

Windows 95/Windows 98
If password protection is disabled (most common):
C:\Windows\Application Data\Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profile_name\salted_name

If password protection is enabled (less common):
C:\Windows\Profiles\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profile_name\salted_name

Windows ME 
C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profile_name\salted_name

Windows NT
C:\Winnt\Profiles\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profile_name\salted_name

Windows 2000/Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profile_name\salted_name

Macintosh OS 8.6-9.1
Startup_Disk:Documents:Mozilla:Profiles:profile_name:salted_name

Macintosh OS X
Startup_Disk:Users:user_name:Library:Mozilla:Profiles:profile_name:salted_name

Unix/Linux
Enter 'echo $HOME'to find where $HOME is pointing to.
The registry and profiles are in $HOME/.mozilla


3) Once you've browsed to where your profile is located, see if there is 
a folder called "chrome" in that directory.  If the folder doesn't exist, 
create a new folder, name it "chrome" and go to Step 4.  If it 
already exists, go directly to Step 4.


4) Open the folder "chrome".  If it already existed, you should see some 
files such as "userChrome-example.css".  Leave those files alone.  Copy 
the files from the unzipped "throbber.zip" (from Step 1) into the folder 
"chrome".  These files are:

throbber-anim.gif
throbber-single.gif
userChromeDL.css


5) One more step and you're almost there.


6) In the "chrome" directory, open the file called "userChrome.css" in 
your favorite text editor, such as SimpleText, TextEdit, Notepad, pico, 
etc.  Do *NOT* use Microsoft Word or another advanced word processor.  If 
"userChrome.css" doesn't exist already, simply make a new text file with 
that name.

Add the following line to the _top_ of "userChrome.css":

@import url(userChromeDL.css);


7) Save and close "userChrome.css".  Close all running versions of 
Netscape/Mozilla (including QuickLaunch on Windows) and restart your 
browser.  The throbber should now be changed.


   **************************************************

To go back to your original throbber:


1) Remove the entire "@import url(userChromeDL.css);" line you added 
to "userChrome.css" in Step 6.  Make sure you save "userChrome.css" 
after removing the line.

2) Delete userChromeDL.css, throbber-anim.gif, and throbber-single.gif if 
you want.

3) Restarting your browser will show the original animation once more.
