Re: [DQSD-Users] RESEND: New Windows 7 RTM DQSD Theme is HERE!
Hi Matt, Thanks so much for your effort in troubleshooting Windows 7 installation, and not least for building the theme (it looks great!). I think we should release again soon, and I'd like the theme to be part of that release. We also need to look into better installation instructions for x64 platforms, and maybe provide a little official hook to allow people to launch the 32-bit IE on 64-bit systems. The workaround seems good. Give me a little time to catch up, and I'll see if I can build a new release from what we have. - Kim On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 00:07, Admin-VYSA ad...@vysa.net wrote: Resent in plain Text Format for DQSD List Archive purposes Fellow DQSD Users… Like most of you, I’ve been running DQSD for many years and cannot live without it!

Re: [DQSD-Users] RESEND: New Windows 7 RTM DQSD Theme is HERE!
Matt, Nicely done. Works very well. I had tinkered with the theme colors but had trouble getting the right combination. This fix corrects the difficult to read, reverse color, data entry glitch. Aside from a one click installation package I think all other DQSD functionality is available now for Win 7 64-bit, but, admittedly, I don't use all the DQSD features. Thanks again!

Re: [DQSD-Users] RESEND: New Windows 7 RTM DQSD Theme is HERE!
Thank you, Matt. The previous Vista theme wouldn't have been possible without you, and this theme is all that and smart as well.

Re: [DQSD-Users] RESEND: New Windows 7 RTM DQSD Theme is HERE!
Thanks Jim, Charlie Kim! I've attached a revised .bmp file...less of a blue tint (more grayish) on the very top. Just drop it in your DSQD folder and type ! enter into the search field to reload. Also, I've tested this theme with the Medium Resolution Mode (125% DPI) and it seems to work fine. I've also attached a new Windows 7 DQSD theme for use when the taskbar is in Small Icons mode (rename theme-Win7_sm_icons to theme.css). I personally prefer the larger taskbar...but, perhaps other folks don't. There are a few issues that I've noticed thus far with it, which depending on whether or not anyone cares, we'll try to address before the release... Windows 7 DQSD Theme: Issue 1: Seems to work erratically within an RDP session in 32-bit video mode (related to 24-bit .bmp?). Issue 2: Doesn't look nice when the taskbar is raised up to double (or more) in height in Clock mode. We still have the outstanding issue with Explorer.exe crashing from DQSD when the taskbar isn't LOCKED prior to loading/unloading of the DQSD toolbar...maybe a Kim question? -Matt -Original Message- From: James Nix [mailto:ni...@charter.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 2:59 PM To: 'DQSD users mailing list' Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] RESEND: New Windows 7 RTM DQSD Theme is HERE!
