[DQSD-Users] RE: changes for WindowsXP
Instead of modifying search.htm, try putting this in your localsearch.css:
body
{
background-repeat : repeat-x;
background-image : url(background.bmp);
}
.txtfld
{
top: 6px;
height: 18px;
}
I'm not running XP anywhere, so I can't tell... let me know if it works.

These ideas generally involved setting/leaving the input area as large
as the Taskbar, setting the background of the input area to a bitmap
that looks like the Taskbar, and occasionally subsequently tweaking the
metrics of the input area to taste. I never could get any of those
schemes to look right and/or not have annoying UI side-effects. I just
wanted it to look like a text input box on the Taskbar, like the
built-in Address Toolbar. My down-and-dirty solution unfortunately
involves editing search.htm. First, as with most of these schemes,
build an image that looks like a vertical cross section of your Taskbar
(mine was 30x1). Next, add a line similar to the following to
search.htm:
img width=1000 height=30 src=images/background.bmp
I put my 'img' tag right before the 'table' tag that contains the
'txtfld'. Obviously, you may have to adjust the 'height', 'src'
directory, and perhaps 'width', appropriately. At this point, your
taskbar would be looking pretty kickass except that the 'txtfld' covers
it up. In my case, I just overrode the position/size variables of the
input area after the existing code finished setting them. These values
worked well for me (I have my 'multiline' set to false):
document.deff.q.style.top=6;
document.deff.q.style.height=18;
If you're using your 'gobutton', you'll probably find that it now looks
like crap. Although I chose not to worry about it (since I have my
'showbutton' set to 0), I *think* this issue is similarly solved by
modifying the 'gobutton' position/size in search.htm and, optionally,
making it look pretty by setting background image(s) for the buttons in
localsearch.css.

Subject: [DQSD-Users] My little graphic changes for WindowsXP
Dear dqsd-users,
with a little bit of changes, I've made DQSD with a WindowsXP feel.
Here is a screen-shot:
http://www.bellavite.com/dqsd.jpg
I've made changes to the search.htm and search.css files:
--
SEARCH.HTM
Removed the symbol at line 729
--
SEARCH.CSS
This is the CSS I've modified:
.txtfld, .clock
{
font : menu;
background-color: window;
color: White;
border-style: none;
border-width:0 px;
padding-top:8px;
padding-left:2px;
padding-right:2px;
padding-bottom:3px;
margin:0px;
position:absolute;
overflow:hidden;
word-break:break-all;
background-image: url(images/background.gif); text-align:right; }
.clock {
background-color: menu;
color: #7BB6E8;
cursor:hand;
text-align:right;
background-image: url(images/background.gif);
}
.gobutton, .mogobutton, .mdgobutton
{
font : menu;
width: 16px;
padding-bottom:1px;
padding-top:1px;
padding-right:1px;
padding-left:1px;
border: 0px;
border-style: none;
border-color:threedface;
background-color:threedface;
color:buttontext;
margin:0px;
position:absolute;
background-image: url(images/search_button_normal.gif);
}
.mogobutton
{
border-style:outset;
border-color:window;
background-image: url(images/search_button_over.gif);
}
.mdgobutton
{
padding-bottom:0px;
padding-top:2px;
padding-right:0px;
padding-left:2px;
border-style:inset;
border-color:window;
background-image: url(images/search_button_down.gif);
}
--
The images for this css can be downloaded here:
http://www.bellavite.com/dqsd_images.zip
and should be extracted in the Quick Search Deskbar\images directory.
This was only an experiment, because I would have a DQSD more
windowsxp-like :-)

Or just switch back to the classic start menu and it'll work fine without any modification :)
