Well, it's the latest full release.  There's a much newer beta at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dqsd

I see what you mean - I always run with multiline, so I hadn't noticed that.

I'm not sure how the themed buttons are drawn - the 'button' on the address 
bar is not really a windows button, so it's difficult to look like that 
without providing a bitmap.   Funny enough, if you remove a lot of the 
style info (borders, colours, etc) from the DQSD button, it looks much of a 
Windows XP button, but it doesn't turn green, I'm afraid.

It's a good point - I can see clearly from the screenshot what you're on 
about.   Since the time when DQSD supported multiline, I've not used it in 
single line mode - I would say that it's actually broken in this mode, and 
should create a proper-sized, vertically centred box.

Cheers,

Will
