Netscape Customisation

[Ryoko's hair is blowing in the wind]

In the interest of the full Ryoko-ization of the computers of RFFC members, Happosai has created some Ryoko Netscape customizations:

rffcnav3.zip     For Netscape 3.x.
Replaces the "throbber" (the icon that animates when the browser is loading stuff) with Ryoko from the Tenchi Muyo! TV opening credits, her hair blowing in the wind.
rffcnav4.zip     For Netscape 4.x.
As above, but in addition:
  • Takes you to the RFFC home page when you click on Ryoko
  • Replaces the sites on the Guide toolbar button with the RFFC homepage, the Anipike, GenSao's Tenchi Muyo! fanfic archive, and Hitoshi Doi's Ai Orikasa page.

They don't work with Internet Explorer but that may change.

Installation on PCs

First make a backup of your netscape.cfg file. Then, decompress either rffcnav3.zip or rffcnav4.zip (depending on your Netscape version) into the dir your netscape.exe is in. To undo, copy your old netscape.cfg back.

Installation on Macs

This thing was made for PCs, and PCs store the "throbber" animation in a completely different way to Macs. The PC version store them as a single BMP file, whereas the Mac stores them as separate PICT images in various places in the resource fork. So replacing the cfg file will change the behaviour of the buttons but won't change the throbber animation.

If you're willing to get your hands dirty and mess around with an image editor and ResEdit, it's just a matter of copying and pasting the new icons over the old. It's really not hard and takes only a few minutes once you know where to look. Unfortunately, where to look depends on what options you have set in the Appearance dialog; there's several sets of icons, of different sizes, and you have to find the right one for your settings. I found the right ones for my settings in the "cics" resource.

I don't have time or patience to go into all the messy details here, send me an email if you really want to do this on a Mac.
