If you want to make a toolbar why not use DTBrowser, and make a browser with a clean toolbar?

When creating a browser using that DLL it will be much slower and with much less functions than Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and other browsers. So I prefer a toolbar with a useless search engine above a toolbar in a useless browser.

Personally, I think this is pointless, its not like we all probably have these sites on our favorite menus and things like it. I think its just more clutter.

TO PEOPLE WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SERACH SECTION:

I Have made a patch that will get rid of it... Unfortunately installing it in Firefox isn't as easy as Internet Explorer. If anyone knows how to use an XPI (or something) to overwrite a file made by the Firefox Installer in the Firefox profiles directory, please let me know.

Anyway, here is the link: (Right-Click -> Save Target As...)
Download

EDIT: Oops, wrong link.

EDIT 2: Wow, stupid me, the toolbar wont update if you apply the patch! I'm working on a solution.....

This is real neat!
I'll use it.

And a thought that I had would be if you had a website for this people could put there game maker forum/website on it and they would be voted on. The gmc toolbar updates every week or so with the top 10 game maker website links from the toolbar site..

Something to think about.

Good idea. It'd have two link menus: Top 10 and New Links. I'll (try) write some PHP scripts and see what I can get going.

As for the patch, I'm trying to make a workaround for the update problem.

This is great it works very well in firefox. Just what I wanted.

Thank you,

If I wanted hundreds of crappy toolbars, then I would dig up IE from the long-gone realms of my computer, probably have to build and fit a commercial firewall server in my home, then install a VERY good pop-up blocker, then after starting IE up, my antivirus would go crazy, start showing little messages in the corner of my screen, and my whole computer would go slo-mo. Bookmarks are your friend, young one IE and toolbars are not.

[celebraces]

So don't use it?

It's only the Firefox version updated. So far, there's been good feedback (outside of this topic, anyway)...

[Toni12]

I like the toolbar!

[Gupocca]

This is nice! Good job.

[Finland Games]

cool

[SleeK GeeK]

This is pretty good. If you have a use for it, use it, if not, no one has forced anyone to used it anyways.

No-one has any suggestions?

[celebraces]

Some of you may have noticed homebound links from the toolbar (like the W.I.P. bar) aren't working. Some time ago, my x10 account was suspened. I'm looking for someone to host the toolbar and possibly some services (like top 10 games, voting, etc). PM me for details.

I'm also looking for suggestions for the updated version that's currently in production. Some I've already got are voting for games to be added to the "Top 10" on the toolbar, top ten websites, more services like the "W.I.P. bar" and different icons (anyone want to make some?).

So if someone can set me up with a good host, I can have these features and hopefully any other suggestions you make in the toolbar in a few weeks.

Stuff new so far (but you can't try it until I get a host):
- Menu updated to reflect new subforum in Extending Game Maker
- W.I.P. bar removed (for now)
- Common replies menu

Thanks, celebraces.

So it is no longer an EffectiveBrand toolbar?

Note: Effective brand has changed its name to Conduit, and during continuing talks with Mozilla removed most of the things people called spyware. Unfortunately, toolbars still send most clicks to a remote server, apparently to fetch the "related links" data.

[celebraces]

No, this one is based on the beta (which no longer works correctly). This one was done by hand, but as a side effect, is unavailable for Internet Explorer (but who uses that anyway ). Sorry IE users.

[bendodge]

According to access logs for my avatar and whatnot, the GMC is almost 50/50 for FF and IE. I made a GMC Toolbar with the new Conduit stuff, but unfortunately there just isn't much content to put in such a toolbar.
