Re: [DQSD-Users] Addons
I think that's probably pretty close to being accurate. In fact, I bet I could rewrite iptools as a search to keep in line with DQSD convention. iptools doesn't use anything special, really. When I made it I didn't know any better *shrug*, but I think the terminology is a little confusing. iptools isn't a search, really, it's an add-on to a product that allows you to search websites. Pedantic, I know, but that's what confused me at first and why I headed down the path of an add-on. :) Maybe the docs could be changed a little to describe the differences a bit better? I'd be happy to write a tutorial on how to write a search, and then extend it to show how you do not, in fact, need to search anything with a search add-on ;) -Steve.

It seems so, looking at the existing ones. Other than that, I don't see how being an addon would allow greater reach than a search, except perhaps by convention. I think that's it, anyway: an addon is a search with additional stuff, be it COM components (timesync), a group of related searches (genealogy), web service wrappers (googlespell), that won't fit in a single xml file. Thanks for the usage statistics :) - Kim On Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 20:49, Steve Babineau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Kim.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Hello there!
Tom: It looks like most (all) of the other addons have an installer that creates an addons folder in the Quick Search Deskbar program folder (eg. C:\Program Files\Quick Search Deskbar\addons). This folder isn't there by default (though I would argue that it should be) so you must create it. Try this: 1) Create an addons folder in your Quick Search Deskbar folder then extract the iptools.zip file into there. If done correctly you will end up with something like C:\Program Files\Quick Search Deskbar\addons\iptools and then 5 files in that folder. 2) Reload Deskbar (type ! in the Deskbar field then hit enter). Let me know if you need more specific instructions. To uninstall, simply delete that iptools folder and reload the Deskbar again. -Steve.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Hello there!
Michael:
For some reason the default popup colors for you are set to be those
colors. Do you have anything in your localsearch.css file?
In any case, I updated it so that you can specify colors separately if
you'd like. To do that, get the updated version here:
http://shifteightgeneration.com/node/18
then add this to your localsearch.css file:
.iptools_message
{
color: black;
}
.iptools_descr
{
}
.iptools_val
{
font-weight: bold;
}
.iptools_error
{
color: red;
}
.iptools_disabled
{
color: #88;
}
You can change any of these colors to suit your tastes.
Note to any one else who uses this new version: I don't know how to
include a css file in an addon so for now you most likely want to add
that above code to your localsearch.css. That will help make the output
more informational.
-Steve.

Well, that works. However showip comes up with light-grey text on white
background and isn't readable (see attached). How could I fix this?
