Yes Matt, I am using your theme.css (and grateful for it! :) I first tried globally substituting transp.gif for 7toolbar1.bmp and got a partial result, see attached. By further experimentation I determined:
1. The reason the effect was partial is body did not have a background specified; when I added it I got the whole thing 2. Whether I used 7toolbar1.bmp or transp.gif didn't seem to make a difference 3. The relevant changes were to body and .txtfld, .clock, and moving those to localsearch.css achieved the same effect. I have never seen actual transparency... > -----Original Message----- > From: Admin-VYSA [mailto:ad...@vysa.net] > Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 2:19 PM > To: kai...@comcast.net; 'DQSD users mailing list' > Subject: RE: [DQSD-Users] Bar color, again > > Are you not using the THEME.CSS (See attached), which develops the > transparency of the bar?
