Customize the Mozilla Browser

Customize the Mozilla Browser - Part Two

This screen enables you to customize the name that appears in the Windows Start menu, the Read Me file that is installed with Mozilla 1.4.1, and the sidebar tabs.

Click the Show Example buttons to see examples of the corresponding customizations.

Start Menu

You can use this section to customize the Mozilla program folder name that appears in the Windows Start menu.

Mozilla 1.4.1 by. Enter the name you want to appear after the words "Mozilla 1.4.1 by" in the Programs submenu of the Windows Start menu. For example, if your company name is Mach Networks, you would type "Mach Networks" here so that program folder name that appears in the menu is "Mozilla 1.4.1 by Mach Networks".

Custom Read Me File

Under the terms of the CCK license agreement, you can edit the existing Read Me file or replace it with one of your own. You must not change the name of the Read Me file (readme.txt)

You should customize or replace the Read Me file before you use this screen to specify its location. For information on preparing the Read Me file, see Preparing a Customized Read Me File in the Preparing a Customized Read Me File in the Guide to Customizing and Distributing Mozilla 1.4.1.

Path to Your Custom Read Me File. If you've stored your new or edited Read Me file somewhere other than the location shown, click Choose File and browse to the location of the file. To check the file that's currently specified, click the View File button.

Customize Sidebar Tabs

My Sidebar is a customizable frame in the Mozilla browser that provides access to popular items such as the latest news and weather, address book or buddy list, stock quotes, a calendar, and many other items that users can add. Sidebar presents these items in tabs that it continually updates.

Mozilla 1.4.1 comes with some sidebar tabs already set up. To provide your own sidebar tab in your customized browser, you first create a tab, which is simply an HTML document. For more detailed information on this topic, see Creating Your Own Sidebar Tab in the Guide to Customizing and Distributing Mozilla 1.4.1.

Sidebar Tab Title. Specify the name that you want to appear on your sidebar tab.

Sidebar Tab URL. Specify the path to the customized sidebar tab that you want to include in your browser.

Feedback. Click this button to go to a web page where you can provide feedback about the CCK Tool.

Next. Each time you click Next in a CCK screen, the information you entered or changed on that screen gets automatically saved with the selected configuration.

Exit. Click this button to exit the CCK Tool. The customizations you have specified on any preceding screens will be saved, but information you have specified on the current screen will not.
