Thanks for the hint, Kim; I tried a complete reinstall, applying the win7
theme patch before instancing the search bar, and now at least I have
consistent results on both machines. The bar doesn't match my taskbar color
but at least it is homogenous (see attached).

What puzzles me is that other people (e.g. James Nix on Win 7 64-bit) seem
to get a transparent search bar that lets their Win 7 theme colors show
through. I could perhaps tweak the search bar color to match the taskbar
color but (1) the taskbar is sort of a gradient fill rather than a uniform
color, (2) if I changed my windows theme of course the search bar would no
longer match, and (3) I haven't found, in my various poking, how to do that!

Any further advice welcome :)
