Summary: XP Taskbar UI Ugly

Initial Comment:
The problem is the 'look-n-feel' of the deskbar with XP.  
There was a suggestion posted for a previous deskbar 
version that had to do with setting the background for 
the body to a bitmap.  I was able to get this to work but 
it required building the appropriate bitmap and fiddling 
with quite a few of the top/height values in search.htm.  I 
have not been successful in implementing a 
similar "patch" with 3.0.  Adding a background bitmap 
to the body has a couple of problems.  One problem is 
that it appears to use that background for the help box, 
not just the deskbar.  The worse problem is that the 
deskbar takes up all space in the taskbar so the 
background bitmap fails to show through.  And, I have 
not been able to find the appropriate values to adjust 
(presumably still in search.htm?) without leaving pieces 
of two deskbars showing in the taskbar and/or getting 
script errors when I resize the toolbar.  Can someone 
help identify the values necessary to change.  Further, 
may I suggest that the values necessary to 
shrink/relocate the deskbar within the taskbar be 
abstracted to one of the "local..." files so that they can 
be tweaked.  On the other hand, is there just a way for 
the deskbar to make itself look right in XP?

Any chance you could reply and attach a zip file containing 
the your mods and a sample bitmap?

Any changes you make to search.htm will be overwritten, so 
confining changes to localsearches.css would be best 
(assuming that's possible.)

Also, it's probably not a huge deal to add some preferences 
to specify the size/position of the text field in the taskbar 
band.
