Kim - I agree, I thought I should have been able to get this whole thing to work with just theme.css. But some things just wouldn't "take" right and it ended up looking ugly. Specfically, the >> button wouldn't change colour, and a couple of other minor things. I'm not at all sure which one overrides the other. Maybe this could be done entirely in localsearch.css? I didn't actually try that scenario. But definitely theme.css alone wasn't sufficient.
I confess, this was just me poking around, no real knowledge about what was happening where. And a lot of trial and error (which is a PITA with UAC turned on, I can tell you!) I don't by any means think these are definitive versions. Just my best guess by the time I gave up at 1 AM this morning. <g> The one thing I'm sure of though is that it is WAY better than any of the existing themes in Vista. (You really have to see the ugliness to appreciate it how bad it is.)
