Futurama Throbbers

[on:]

ya know the little spinning things in the top right corner of internet explorer and netscape.

I currently use a spinning decepticon emblem.

but would kill for a bender one.

anyone ever seen any futurama ones?

I tried to make one but it turned into a huge pain

We all need futurama throbbers!

How do you change those things?

[Reply #2 on:]

first you get a new one

I downloaded the decepticon one

then you edit the registry to use it, very simply to do
but I want a bender one!!!!!!

if it does not exist there has gotta be someone that can make some futurama throbbers

More of a "fan art" thing, ain't it?

This site offers make-your-own-throbber  freeware. (Hit the "What Is A Throbber" link at the top of the page.) I'd like a Zoidberg screaming throbber.

too bad that program is for mac only

I found that before

here is an autobot one http://rickfranco.com/temp/auto.bmp
let me know if you want any others, or need to know how to use it.

my hope was to get information on if there were any futurama ones

or find people that were interested in making them

"Internet Explorer/Outlook Express
For Internet Explorer, the image has to have a width of 26 pixels (the small logo as shown on the right) or 38 (the big version). The height must be an even number of times the width. Read somewhere it has to be at least 12 times the width (not sure), so let's say it has to be something like 26 x 312 or 38 x 456. Now you have 12 squares which are the different frames of your animation. For a smooth animation, repeat every frame once. The first and upper frame is shown when IE isn't busy or you're not connected.

Open RegEdit and go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsof
t\Internet Explorer\Toolbar. Click on it once, and on the right, add a new string value (click right there). Name it 'BrandBitmap' (without the quotes), or 'SmBrandBitmap' if you made the small one. Then, rightclick on it, choose modify and enter the path to your bitmap. Close and restart.

If you've got IE5 installed , you're able to use a seperate bitmap for the non-animated logo. You may even need to do so, if you experience borders along the (brand)bitmap. It's got to be 26 x 26 or 38 x 38 and is displayed when the browser isn't busy. Insert a string value called "SmallBitmap" or "BigBitmap" at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Interne
t Explorer\Main. For IE 5.5 it's at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsof
t\Internet Explorer\Toolbar too, very convenient.

The animation is displayed a little different too. The first 4 frames are played when browsing starts. Frame 5 and more are played until browsing stops"

IE users can download EdenSoft My Logo

The page says:

1) You can change the little logo in the upper right-hand corner of your browser to the animation or image of your choice. You can even play movies while waiting for Web pages to load!!

2) You can change the text that appears in the title bar after the Web page title to the text of your choice,

3) You can play a sound of your choice when a Web page is completely loaded.

4) You can select a Web Page to load when you double-click on the logo - sort of a "second home".

>>You can also check if your browser supports "My Logo".

JavieR's link is good, it just has "ww" instead of "www." Thanks, JavieR! I might try to make a Planet Express Ship one, or Zoidberg going "...klack..." when I get some time...maybe one based on the ship-flying-through-the-logo idea! Everyone go nuts!

[Reply #11 on:]

ok the link that JavieR posted is great and all.

But it has nothing to do with making your own animation.  All it does is allow you to change it and add some other features.
I can already change the thing. I posted how to change them already.

so BrainSluggo, you would still need some program to actually make the file.

So I'm still back where I started

I need futurama throbbers

or someone here should make some, I think we all would like to have them.

Take a look at the autobot pic I posted, that is how they have to be, I currently don't have a program that does that, if anyone does please post here.

Do you have any animated gifs or cursors (.ani) of bender already?  If so, and if you can send them tome, I can make one for you.

Holy crap, back from the dead topic!
