    Post Changing title bar colors with JavaScript?

    Can this be done? I can't seem to find a script that does this...

    That's the problem these days, way too many sites and no time to search 'em all...

    And JavaBoutique just has Java applets, nothing related to JavaScript... thanks anyway

    Think he means the title bar where right now it's saying:
    'Sharkyforums.Com - Reply to Topic - ...'

    *edit*
    Of course, when you're reading this post, it's saying 'Changing title bar colors with JavaScript? - SharkyForums.Com - ...

    I don't know if it's possible to change that with a Javascript thingie, it's something controlled by windows as a general setting.
    Would be nice though.

    Yeah, that's what I thought. It can be changed in the control panel (win) but only to apply for all windows...

    Why would you want to change it anyway, slippy?

    I'm pretty sure you don't have control of that in javascript. For the same reason you couldn't change the options within the File Menu dropdown. That would be sweet though... you could change the look of people's Windows. And from there? ...total chaos... muhahaha

    Web designers actually used to have control over a number of attributes in the title bar back with < 3.0 browsers. But they changed that long ago, and now you can only change the text that appears using the "title" tag.

    As far as I know, the only thing you can still change is the colors used in the scroll bar by using StyleSheets.

    However, you are only able to do that with IE 5.5+.
