Category: Interface Improvements (example) Group: Next Release (example) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) 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? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Glenn Carr (glenncarr) Date: 2002-07-05 11:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18127 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=432069&aid=577675&group_id=42081 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Bringing you mounds of caffeinated joy. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ DQSD-Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dqsd-devel
