Greetings, Proxomitron Fans Everywhere!
I've used Proxomitron for a long, long time -- it's still part of my 'computer staples.'
OS: WinXP SP2
Browser: Opera 1.26
Proxomitron version: 4.5j
Question: Is there a way to replace the Proxo connection error message that appears in blocked ad spaces with a clear image or other blank image? See example below.

I am able to do that using eDexter to replace blocked urls (via host file) but I would like to do this with Proxomitron's connection error message. I have no idea where to find this in the Proxomitron folder.
Since I am capable of doing some basic things with html and such, I would appreciate some guidance.
Thanks!

Have a look at the Proxomitron\html directory.
Thanks for replying. I appreciate it. Yes, it was my first stop. I did not find anything obvious. Perhaps you could identify it for me?
Thanks!

You can change the image here:
**Proxomitron Folder**\html\ProxyLogo.jpg
The HTML is hard-coded into Proxomitron, so unless you want to delve into hex editing, you can also modify the appearance of the page by editing its CSS file:
**Proxomitron Folder**\html\Errors.css
I guess what you'd want to do is aim to make everything appear white: replace ProxyLogo.jpg with a white jpg, then set the body bg, table borders, table background to all white
(via the css file)
Welcome!
Thanks!!!
Well, I was able to make the changes. White images, text color white, yet the error message is still visible:
Error connecting to site
The Proxomitron couldn't connect to...
mediamgr.ugo.com:80/html.ng/size=300x250&affiliate=allmovieportal&channel=filmtv&subchannel=alsoplaying&Net
The site may be busy or the web server may be down.
Is there a way to mask the message using a header entry of some kind?

Try this (backup your Errors.css file first)
:
Code:
/*
Proxomitron Error Message Style Sheet
*/
body
{
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
table table p
{
display: none
}
td img
{
display: none
}
.err1
{
display:none
}
.err2
{
display:none
}
Thanks, Kye-U!! I appreciate it very much.
Here is what I get:

Summary: I use host file to block URLs. I only get the connection error message when 1) the host file blocks a URL and 2) when I have BYPASS FILTERS active (no filtering) in Proxo.
When I have Proxo working as normal (full filtering), I do not get a connection message, just a blank or white space.
So it seems that a Proxo filter seems to be doing the job and blocking the error message!!
Why not leave Proxo filtering "on"? On some sites that I may only visit one or two times I may not want to filter for variety of reasons (i.e., flash, javascript, etc.). I thought that if Proxo could remove the error message then I would have little reason to use eDexter. (eDexter does not work well with Opera, unlike other browsers, in that a web page does not resize to eDexters "invisible" images and the error message often comes through anyway.) eDexter was disabled during the above "tests."
Any thoughts or suggestions?
