Yeah great....where is that file located? I found 1 in the root/netscape
directory, called preferences.js, and added the line you suggested. But
that did not work.
Also found a file prefs.js in the /root/.mozilla/root/hpmks3xv.slt and
added the same line, but still the horrible look.
I found the file by browsing trough the horrible Nautilus. Am i blind,
or did they forget a simple search tool. Jesus Crist, you know, like
clicking on start -> search etc.
Yeah, real strange how Windows got so big.......
Thanks anyway for your answer!
Jelmer.
