Hey there,
I have only recently started using notepad++,it's a great piece of software,only drawback is that it's sorta ugly if you know what i mean.My question is if there is a way to customize the way N++ looks beyond Styler configurator.Specifically the tabs bar and make it look like EmEditor tab bar or firefox tab bar!
Thanks in advance folks,any help is greatly appreciated! :)

Don't get me wrong,i like N++ just like the way it is,thing is that it could use a little eye candy,just to be a little easier on the eyes.And i couldn't agree more with your statement Greg,minimalist plus power is the way to go!
As far as writing a plugin,well easier said than done.I have absolutely no idea of C++.Guess i have to get my hands dirty then!
Still if anyone knows any skin/plugin to change the way the tab bar of N++ looks,you are more than welcome :p

Ugly! You said 'sorta ugly'!! What do you expect, a multimedia razamataz type user interface? ;-)
Seriously, text editors are the workhorses of text where word processors don't go. People that use them usually demand power and functionality over frills and lace.

The toolbar can be customised by making the icons smaller or by substituting them for another set - see themes at foot of page http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php.
If want a totally different look you'll probably have to write a plugin.
