Michael, Refresh my memory. Are you running Win7 32 bit? Are you using AERO?
Reason I ask is that I am test installing Win7 32bit (my first 32 bit install, all others have been 64 bit) on an OLD Toshiba laptop. No Aero support. First pass install of DQSD has color problems as well but I am still looking at it (may have the wrong installation kit for Win7 32 bit....).

Be sure the transp.gif file exists in the DQSD folder next to the 7toolbar1.bmp. If that works, you may need to remove the black pixels in dqsd.png (little magnifying glass icon) and make them transparent (alpha channel) as well. If the transp.gif works, you may need to add a few colored pixels at the very top of the file to best match the embossed look at the top of the taskbar (as seen in the 7toolbar1.bmp). I recommend you do all of this in Photoshop. Ive not installed the latest IE9, so please reply with whether or not you got it to look better.

Also, you might want to try all black (RGB: 0/0/0). From: Michael Kairys [mailto:kai...@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 12:40 PM To: dqsd-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [DQSD-Users] Bar color, again Hello all, Rather quiet is this list I hope someone is still reading it :) Ive written a few times about my problems getting the search bar to sit transparently in my Windows 7 taskbar. I had it looking pretty good until I installed IE 9 beta, and now its a light blue for some reason. See attached. Please can anyone tell me how to control this. I would be happy to force it to the same color as my task bar if I could; Ive tried putting colors in my localsearch.css for .txtfld, .clock background but the color I get seems not to be related to the color I put in, and it doesnt cover the whole area anyway. Any advice appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
