| Remove the blue box around the iCab throbber.
 The latest release of the iCab web browser supports new icon sets that make it ease to change the look of the toolbars. If you ResEdit pros want dig a little deeper, you may want to create your own throbber, or download on from ResExcellence, but if you do, you be in for a little surprise!
 The icon mask, is a blue-green color. If you make the icon mask all black, you will still be left with a blue-green box around the throbber.
This small edit shows you how to change the color of the box and icon mask.
 Open a copy of iCab in ResEdit and scroll down to the PPob resource.
Open them with a double-click.
 Open ID# 128, the Browser Window.
Bring up the HEX Search box by choosing it from the menu, or type Command-F. As shown in the graphic above, type 9999CCCCFFFF and push Find Next.
Once the hex string is found (there is only one in ID 128), type in one of the two options shown below into the Change To box, and push Change.

Save your work and quit ResEdit. The modified version of iCab will now have the white or black box.
An explanation: The hex code 99CCFF represents the original color of the iCab box. In the PPob resource, the values are repeated twice: 9999 CCCC FFFF. The first of each color pair is the box color. Since white is FF FF FF Hex, that's what we replaced the first hex value with in each of the three positions.
If you have a particular color you want to enter, get the Hex code from Apple's color picker and follow the format; xx99 xxCC xxFF.
Have Fun!
