Thanks Jim, Charlie & Kim! I've attached a revised .bmp file...less of a blue tint (more grayish) on the very top. Just drop it in your DSQD folder and type ! <enter> into the search field to reload.
Also, I've tested this theme with the Medium Resolution Mode (125% DPI) and it seems to work fine. I've also attached a new Windows 7 DQSD theme for use when the taskbar is in "Small Icons" mode (rename theme-Win7_sm_icons to theme.css). I personally prefer the larger taskbar...but, perhaps other folks don't. There are a few issues that I've noticed thus far with it, which depending on whether or not anyone cares, we'll try to address before the release... Windows 7 DQSD Theme: Issue 1: Seems to work erratically within an RDP session in 32-bit video mode (related to 24-bit .bmp?). Issue 2: Doesn't look nice when the taskbar is raised up to double (or more) in height in "Clock mode". We still have the outstanding issue with Explorer.exe crashing from DQSD when the taskbar isn't LOCKED prior to loading/unloading of the DQSD toolbar...maybe a Kim question? -Matt -----Original Message----- From: James Nix [mailto:ni...@charter.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 2:59 PM To: 'DQSD users mailing list' Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] RESEND: New Windows 7 RTM DQSD Theme is HERE! Matt, Nicely done. Works very well. I had tinkered with the theme colors but had trouble getting the right combination. This fix corrects the "difficult to read", reverse color, data entry glitch. Aside from a "one click" installation package I think all other DQSD functionality is available now for Win 7 64-bit, but, admittedly, I don't use all the DQSD features. Thanks again!

Hi Matt, Thanks so much for your effort in troubleshooting Windows 7 installation, and not least for building the theme (it looks great!). I think we should release again soon, and I'd like the theme to be part of that release. We also need to look into better installation instructions for x64 platforms, and maybe provide a little official hook to allow people to launch the 32-bit IE on 64-bit systems. The workaround seems good. Give me a little time to catch up, and I'll see if I can build a new release from what we have. - Kim On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 00:07, Admin-VYSA <ad...@vysa.net> wrote: > **** Resent in plain Text Format for DQSD List Archive purposes **** > > Fellow DQSD Users > > Like most of you, Ive been running DQSD for many years and cannot live > without it!

/* theme_Windows7_widescreen_Dark_MattB_alt.css
*
* This is a Windows7 RTM theme file, created by Matt B. (updt 2009) who is a wiz with CSS files.
* This is an alternate Windows7 theme with larger 17pt fonts for high-res
* or widescreen displays for enhanced readability. I run this at 1920 x 1600
*
* Before using, take a system restore and backup the DQSD folder
* Install the Windows7 theme by replacing your existing theme.css file
* with this file. You will also need one .bmp file copied to your
* DQSD directory, 7toolbar1.bmp
*
* Version 1.0 created 05 October, 2009
* Submit updates, suggestions, and comments to the DQSD Users list
*
* !!!IMPORTANT: This theme is designed to work with Windows 7 RTM Smaller Mode in
* Resolution Settings...See enclosed JPG file for these details.
*
* Once installed, Enter "!" (without quotes) into your Quick Search Toolbar to reload...Enjoy!
* For housekeeping, turn off the toolbar's Title and Turn off the Windows 7 Taskbar clock (Tray)
