Windows XP and Tweak UI - Give Internet Explorer Toolbar a Background Texture

SUMMARY: Use Tweak UI for Windows XP to give Internet Explorer's toolbar a facelift.

Want to change the look of Internet Explorer? With Tweak UI, you can give the top toolbar background a patterned texture or a bitmap image. Choose from the standard bitmaps in Windows XP, grab an image from your digital camera or scanner, or download an image from the Internet.

To give Internet Explorer's toolbar a custom background, first download and run Tweak UI for Windows XP using the tips mentioned on MalekTips. Click on the "Internet Explorer" link, then select "Toolbar Background". Now, check "Use custom background for Internet Explorer toolbar" and click the "Change..." button to browse for and select a picture. Click the "Apply" button, open Internet Explorer, and preview your changes. If you like the new toolbar background, click "OK" in Tweak UI. Else, click the "Change..." button in Tweak UI, find another background, and try again until you are satisfied.

If you want to remove the toolbar background, just uncheck the "Use custom background for Internet Explorer toolbar" button in Tweak UI.
