nellie2 Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 So far I like it and I think I might keep it, I'm using the preview on mouseover icon which is the default, each link displayed on a webpage has a little blue icon by it when I run my mouse over the link, if I hover my mouse on the icon then the linked page appears, I just click on the red X in the CoolIris window to close it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
