Of course, you can set Bing as default search engine. Just edit in 'source.js':
var searchEngine = 'google';
there change word google to bing

Hi,
First off, amazing productive work! So stylish and slick. Kudos to you!
Just wondering whether it is possible to set it so that whenever you click a on a tile it opens up in a new window by default rather than having to click with the middle mouse button in firefox?
Thanks,
Matt

Hello!
How can I add a fourth screen?
I tried to modify manually the source.js and config.css and was a living hell.

Basically, it is possible to add fourth screen. If more users will request fourth screen, I could add it.

Great work ! But :
1/ I want to use an image as background . How do I do to make that ?
I think it will be useful that you put that instruction in your "eight.kx.cz"
2/ How do we put a weather gadget into a tile (with the ability to insert a title) ?
3/ How do we add hover effect in all arrows ?
Tks a lot

hey can you make tutorial for this mod?? am stuck and totally confuse.. maybe you can explain it more clearly so am as a new for modding will more clear.. thankss i reaaly love your mod. but i cant modding it..

There is nothing hard. Just place images into 'thumbs' folder, then run 'config.htm'. Set up all by your choice and generate text and then copy this text to 'source.js'. And then only set index.htm as your homepage.

oh, I've just tried and it works well with IE9. But you have to modify a litle bit in the index.html file to prevent IE9 stop warning about running scripts or ActiveX controls.

I do not know, I am using win XP, so I do not have IE9. But I thing it could be compatible, because I do not have bad feedback from IE9 users.

Sorry, I meant how to change colors of the websites links....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are images in background of websites links. So for every screen are using this same background images. This images are 1.png - 12.png in 'lib' folder.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I got that,Thank you,but I just want to be able to put whatever image I want (for example ...for youTube I would like to have an picture of the YouTube webpage). Is that possible?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course, you can put image of your choice into 'thumbs' folder and set it for any webpage.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, but no, it doesn't work. The images I put on the first page keep on showing on the 2nd and 3rd screen. I did what you told me, put the images in the thumbs folder and it still doesn't work.... Any suggestions, please?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
One thing is the background of links and other thing is icon for webpage link. Backgrounds are the same for every screen, icon is unique for every webpage. And I do not know, what do you want. If you want to have your own image for youtube link, then put this image into 'thumbs' and set it (via config.htm or manually in source.js).
