You can change the appearance by creating a copy of search.htm called 
localsearch.css and then editing that.   (You ought to make sure you have 
an up to date version of DQSD.)

Of course, you can change anything you want by changing search.htm, but 
that's really supposed to be the engine room, and any changes you make 
would be overwritten by an upgrade.

What do you mean by 'shallower'?   Are you talking about 3d effect, or 
about the height of the window on the screen?

The size of the taskbar doesn't really have much to do with the resolution 
- it's more to do with system font settings and how high you've dragged it 
to be.

Most of that's in the .css file.  Have a look at the style for 
.gobutton.  Currently, it uses the system colours for buttons and text, 
which is the 'proper' way to do it to fit with the current theme - of 
course there's nothing to stop you changing that...

Cool.  Some of us might need a bit of convincing that there's a problem 
which needs fixing in this regard...   If you post a bitmap to the list, 
can you keep it to a reasonable size.

Cheers,

Will
