How to change Proxo Connection Error message
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. ProxoConnectErrorMsg.gif (Size: 18.53 KB / Downloads: 917) 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! janusz |

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! j |

RE: How to change Proxo Connection Error message
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! |

RE: How to change Proxo Connection Error message
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? j |

Try this (backup your Errors.css file first) :

RE: How to change Proxo Connection Error message
Thanks, Kye-U!! I appreciate it very much.
Here is what I get: ErrorMsg.gif (Size: 3.17 KB / Downloads: 894) 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? j |
