You can change it by doing this: On the tree on the left, click Controls > Statusbar Pane. Way over on the right, click text settings > text color.

Hope this helps!

ok, thx,

but im still a little unsure as how to use this template?

Do i do my icons in the top free bit, or in the boxes at the bottom?

I really cant work this out..... lol, i know i suck. But be gentle, it is my first time!

The grid is just to show size & location make your icons inside the boxes then hide grid before saving.

Alternatively you can use the default icons as a template then hide them before you save.

Feel free to PM me if you need to!

many thx all, but i think im gonna give toolbars a miss.

I have tried numerous times now, and they always go wrong, (ie when you mouse over the folders icon, its a total different image, scissors or something), or the back forward arrows still contain black circle backrounds.
Ive tried to edit the images myself, or cut and paste, and still it goes ballz up, so i give up. Maybe i took on too much by trying blinds and these at the same time.

Thx for all your help,

Offica
