Change Windows 7 Explorer Navigation Buttons

Teenage Windows customizer/developer Kishan Bagaria has written a small utility that allows you to customize Windows 7 Explorer’s navigation button – those blue forward/backward buttons. The tool changes the buttons by swapping bitmaps of the buttons with the ones of your choice.

Simply run Windows 7 Navigation Buttons Customizer as administrator, select the button you want to replace and then load the bitmap from your hard drive. Restart Windows explorer and it is done.

The problem with this approach, however, is that you need bitmaps of the button with the precise dimension. If you are lucky, you can find some designs on the Internet, otherwise you have to make your own.

If you can’t design your own, then get hold of Vista-7 Nav Button Colorizer. This is another Windows 7 button customizer that lets you change the color by choosing from one of nine different variations, including the default style. The navigation button can take the following colors – Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Yellow, Blue (different shade) and Black.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.

If you have changed the default Facebook profile picture and uploaded your own, it’s fine. But if not, then why not replace that boring picture of the guy with a wisp of hair sticking out of his head with something different and funny?

How to remove watermark from an image or picture

A watermark is any recognizable text, logo or pattern that appears over an image to identify the owner of the image and generally used to prevent unauthorized reuse of the image. Watermarks are usually transparent and can be difficult to remove. The difficulty or ease of removal depends on the content of the image and the position, color, size etc of the watermark.

here's a question: in win7 64 bit, is there a way to add an "always on top" button, without any bloated third party software? I used to use a program called eXtraButtons, (find it here: http://www.xtrabuttons.com/ ) but it just had more going on with it than what I needed

If you want only always-on-top feature, you can try DeskPins. PowerMenu also works, but I'm not sure about 64-bit.

Otherwise, there are bunch of programs that does this and more.

Oh cool, sorry it took so long to get back here..apparently there's life outside the interwebs ;P

Deskpins seems like it will fit the bill. Thanks much.
