Copyright/Reproduction

    The author (M.Yamaguchi) owns the full copyright to Y'z ToolBar.
    I choose to allow the use, reproduction, and distribution of this software 
    in a free manner, but only under the assumption that the contents of this 
    archive are not changed or altered in any way, and it's contents are intact.
    (for any sort of reproduction please notify me first)
    However, any user can freely change and distribute any created toolbar theme in 
    an archive.
    The author assumes no responsibility, or gives any sort of guarantees for
    damages that may occur from using this software.

About translation and redistribution of .lang file

    - Translation should be accurate to the original.
    - Any bitmap changed in the .lang file should be accurate to the original
      bitmaps.
    - The name (title) of the .lang file has to be in English.
    - When redistributing the translated .lang file, do not include and\or
      redistribute with the original Y'z ToolBar archive.
    - Do not restrict the re-translation and redistribution by others of the
      translated .lang file.

    If the above conditions are strictly observed, you may translate and
    redistribute freely and do not need the author's permission.

About creation of the theme

      The use of bmp and png is possible for icon image files.
      The ratio of an image file in horizontal vertical is 63:1.
      For example, 1512x24, 2016x32, 2583x41 etc.
      In the case of a bmp file, the full transparency color is RGB(255,0,255).
      A theme creator does not need to fill in all the icons, because any area 
      on the image toolbar file that is left transparent will be filled in with 
      the default Windows XP toolbar icons.

      The meaning of each key of a theme.ini file is as follows.

      [General] section
        ThemeName:
          The theme name displayed in the settings dialog. When not specified,
          the folder name will be displayed in the settings dialog.

        URL:
          URL of theme creator.
          At the present time this does not display in the settings dialog.
          In the future, it may display.

      [Explorer_IE] section

          the actual size of the icon images will be used.
          The value sizes are limited from 17 pixels to 64 pixels.
          When a value number differs from the size of the icons image, the size 
          will default automatically to the numeric value specified. The icons
