Mail.app Toolbar Icons

Ever since Leopard pretty much killed the old apps (Mailstamps, Cagefighter) that modified the Mail toolbar icons (removed the capsules) I've been trying to find a way to do it.

There are so many talented people on here doing amazing things with the GUI, I know that somebody must know how to do it.

If anyone could share that knowledge, or point me in the right direction, etc., I can't tell you how much I would appreciate it.

Thanks.  smile

Re: Mail.app Toolbar Icons

mail.app pulls the buttons for the toolbar from ArtFile.bin... they're plasticcapsules and plasticscurvesegs.

Can ArtFile.bin be modified on Snow Leopard?

Thanks for the help! 

I have ThemePark installed and can see the plasticcapsules, but how do I get rid of them?  I only see an option to edit in Photoshop.

Drag the image from the preview box (lower left corner).
Edit it in your favorite image editor.
Drag back on the preview box.
Then save and click that apply theme button or something.

Thanks! 

I changed everything in plasticcapsules to transparent.  That seems to work when I click and hold on capsule buttons in Mail and Preview, but not the inactive state.  Is there another section I need to edit? 

plasticcapsules was the only one that looks like the capsule buttons.

Nevermind.  It looks like I just needed to log out.  Thanks for all the help.  Things look great.
