Introduction
nPOPuk allows the user to supply custom toolbar bitmaps and icons. Simply placing appropriate files in the Resource folder will cause nPOPuk to load them in place of the native built-in bitmaps and icons.
Toolbars
There are three toolbars in the program; one each for the Main window, the Edit window, and the View window. In each case, the toolbar contains more buttons than are visible at one time; for example, the toolbar for the edit window also contains buttons for the Sent Mail window, and the program hides the buttons that are not appropriate. The toolbar buttons may be of any size (16x16, 24x24, and 32x32 are common choices), but the bitmap must contain the correct number of buttons, or else the program will reject the bitmap and use the compiled-in version. You may replace any or all of the toolbars independently (you could even choose to have different size buttons for each toolbar).
| Toolbar | Filename | Number of buttons |
|---|---|---|
| Main | tbar_main.bmp | 21 |
| Edit | tbar_edit.bmp | 9 |
| View | tbar_view.bmp | 14 |
The buttons on the Main toolbar will have the following meanings (nPOPuk doesn't try to make sense of your image - it uses the first one for "Check Account" and so on...):
Check Account - Check All - Update - Update All - Stop - New Message - Reply - Reply to All - Forward - Mark to Download - Mark to Send - Mark to Delete - Delete from List - Mark Read - Mark Unread - Flag for Follow-up - Find - Find Next - Address Book - Dial-up Connect - Dial-up Disconnect.
The buttons on the Edit toolbar have these meanings:
Send Now - Mark to Send - Save to Outbox - Previous (sent) Message - Next (sent) Message - Create Copy - Property - Find - Find Next.
NOTE: The first three (Send Now, Mark to Send and Save to Outbox) are used when composing a message and are hidden when showing a sent message. Conversely, the next three (Previous Message, Next Message and Create Copy) are used when showing a sent message but hidden when composing a message.
The buttons on the View toolbar have these meanings:
Previous Message - Next Message - Next Unread Message - Reply - Reply to All - Forward - Mark to Download - Mark to Delete - Delete from List - Mark Read/Unread (toggle) - Flag for Follow-up - Find - Find Next - Unused.
Icons
The support for custom icon files is a little less general: the icon must be 16x16 pixels. (Icon files may contain multiple resolutions, but the program will only load a 16x16 resolution.) The color depth is restricted only by the color depth of your display (or possibly the operating system, for older versions of Windows). The names of the 23 icon files and their uses are listed in the table below; note that icon_main.ico has multiple uses. You need not supply replacements for all the icons; if a particular file is missing, or does not contain a 16x16-pixel icon, the program will use the compiled-in icon for that purpose.
| Filename | Purpose |
|---|---|
| icon_chk.ico | System tray icon when communicating with the server |
| ico_nchk.ico | System tray icon when not communicating |
| ico_main.ico | Unread message (also used in the system tray when new mail has been received) |
