Hiding the HUGE AOL upper task bar and mail controls

February 22, 2004 7:52 PM from

How can I use a skin or WinCustomize to reduce the AOL taskbars, but be able to still use the neccesary controls I need like the mail controls, signing on and off. web search. the start menu... etc.

Thank You

umm...you can't. AOL skins itself, so you can't skin it. They have made it impossible to use anything but their skin by using custom controls (that is why it's so big). AOL is evil.

I think I'm leaning towards KG on this one. And, I have AOL. AOL v9 won't skin with windowblinds at all. You have to use version 8 if you want windowblinds to skin AOL.
