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: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2004-04-08 11:46 Message: Logged In: NO Wil there ever be an attempt to make the taskbar UI act similar to how Google's Search bar works: http://toolbar.google.com/deskbar/index.html. The nice thing about it is that it doesn't require to create new images every time you change themes. Thanks for any response. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2002-08-07 19:25 Message: Logged In: NO Perhaps this was said above, and I just didn't catch it: I would love it if you could add some option to change the height of the search bar. In other words, an option to have it be 1 line, 2 lines, 3 lines, size of the taskbar, etc. thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Glenn Carr (glenncarr) Date: 2002-07-05 09:39 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: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
