tweaking the user interface

michael walker User Posts: 37 Points: 27 Rating: 1 Authority: 1 Joined: 14 January 2006	#1 0 18 January 2006 08:33:16 I'd like to change just ONE toolbar icon (tint 'Send + Check for All' a little different color, so its easier to see!) is this possible to do? i gather these icons are embedded in the program somewhere...

Mark Anderson Beginner Posts: 4 Points: 2 Rating: 0 Authority: 0 Joined: 02 February 2006	#4 0 02 February 2006 17:48:13 I would like to add an icon for "Dispatch new messages on the server -> New Mail Only" instead of having the actual text show up in the Configuration Toolbar. I see the batskin.xml info you pointed the last user to, but how do I add an icon to something that doesn't already have one? Do I need a theBat! debugger...

I can alter an icon. If I change the glyph-id on bDispatchAll from:

<glyph id="bDispatchAll" col="0" row="1" />

to:

<glyph id="bDispatchAll" col="7" row="7" />

The icon for "Dispatch all messages on the server" does change correctly to the new icon.

My problem is that I use "Dispatch new messages on the server" all the time because I leave some messages on the server that I want to read later on.

I don't know the glyph-id for "Dispatch new messages on the server". That is my problem. I guessed that it would be bDispatchNew but that did not work. I am out of guesses.

I want to replace the 2 inch long toolbar button that says "New messages only" with a nice little icon.

Here's an image of what I'm talking about. For some reason I can't get an IMG link to work on this forum, but you can click on the link below to see it.

Something about the "Dispatch new messages on the server" option is different. There is no default icon to start with.

Odd, because older versions of theBat did have an icon for new messages, but not all messages.
