I hope you and everyone saw my ;-). It's true that I don't like them
but, being a matter of taste, I wouldn't dare call them ugly at the risk
of "offending" the many people that like them.

I agree Miguel... maybe the newer ones Maxim promised us for

Around the edge of whole toolbar Mica - about 1mm wide I'd say.
Although with the default glyphs (the big XP type ones) there was
no picture at all, just the grey toolbar with nothing on it!

Do you mean transparent edges around the (individual) icon itself, or of
the entire toolbar?

Glad to hear you got it working. And don't worry about the glyphs,
they're ugly ;-)

My son seemed to think there used to be but that it had been ...
er ... withdrawn after pressure from a certain large OS
company. He may, of course, be totally mistaken here. ;)

Thanks Mike and Miguel, I appreciate your suggestions.

I started thinking along the same lines myself after I'd posted
to the list, so I did just that... I have v3 trial on a Windows
PC here and my full v2.12 on the Xandros box, so copied over the
.exe and the two .dll files from Windows to Xandros and it
works.

Well most of it does... I have _no_ glyphs at all... not
in toolbars, account tree, sorting office, editor... nowhere!
Obviously the transparency thing that has been used in the new
glyphs is not compatible with CO/Xandros, so I've used again the
old glyphs file and now I have icons again. :) (Albeit with
transparent edges as before but at least the middles can be
seen!)

Isn't  there a way of extracting the exe file out of the msi? Or would
that now work as it is a new major build?

That's because old people are huge liars. You don't know that they're

I can't guaranty it will work because I have no way of testing it here
(no Linux box), but I am pretty sure that if you get thebat.exe from a
.msi installation on Windows and copy it to your Linux one (rename your
current thabat.exe first to be safe) it should work without problems.

Can you fire up a version of windows long enough to get the install to
work?  Then you can just 'migrate' the results to your linux box.

I keep a small Windows partition on most of my linux boxes for just
that purpose.  It is still possible to do that via a second box, but
not as easy.

The msi installer is giving me a problem under Xandros

[Anne]

I've been using TB! under Xandros Linux (via Crossover Office)
for the better part of 6 months and it has worked fine for me.

Now I have a major problem with the upgrade to v3... I cannot
install it onto my Linux box. CO only allows installation of .exe
files and hasn't a clue what to do with the .msi one, so it looks
like I'm stuck at v2.12.0 :(

Does anyone know of a way around this at all please? BTW suggesting
going back to using Windows is *not* an option! ;)
