How Do I Customize CoolBE?

The easiest way for you to customize CoolBE to display your text and images is to modify an Example*.html included in the download. Make a backup copy before you change it. You do not have to connect to the Internet to view CoolBE in action (except when testing URL links.)

Use a text editor or your browser's editor to change the values of the HTML tags. Save the file. Press the Reload or the Refresh icon on your browser to see your changes in the display. You can pause the animation by moving the cursor onto the display window. Check it out and make some more changes if you wish. Top.

How Do I Add CoolBE to My Webpage?

If you have viewed the your CoolBE with a web browser and edited it to use your images, text, and URLs, you are ready to insert the CoolBE into any of your web pages. All you have to do is to copy the segment from "<applet" to "</applet>", form your CoolBE HTML file, and paste it to a location in your web page. Place your web page and the CoolBE package in the same directory. Your CoolBE will show up when your web page is viewed.

When you upload, make sure you upload all the *.class files and the CoolBE*.jpg files to the same directory with your CoolBE HTML file. Upload other image files you used in the user/ sub directory. The *.class files should be uploaded as binary files. Top.

Is the Light Edition of CoolBE Fully Functional and FREE?

Yes it is! You are also permitted to give or sell it to a third party if you wish.

You earn the FREE CoolBE by carrying the CoolBE logo and two themes of CoolBE advertisements in the display. Please refer to the ReadMe.txt included with the download package for expiration date.

If the CoolBE*.jpg files or the CoolBE.com URL are altered or removed, or the CoolBE expired, the customized URLs will default to www.CoolBE.com.

If you prefer, you can buy other Editions of CoolBE at reasonable prices. Top
