Are you not using the THEME.CSS (See attached), which develops the
transparency of the bar? I've not used localsearch.css for these color
settings.
If you don't already have it, try reinstalling my complete theme:

Thanks so much for your reply; glad to know someone is listening :)
Attached seems to be as close as I can get; I got it by setting body and
.txtfld background to black as you suggested:
/* localsearch.css ... */
body
{
background: #000000;
}
.txtfld, .clock
{
background: #000000;
font : calibri;
font-size : 13;
font-weight : normal;
}
I saw no difference from using transp.gif instead of 7toolbar1.bmp, i.e.
background: #000000 url(transp.gif) repeat-x fixed top;
It's not transparent but at least it's not bright blue :)

I should have mentioned to use the previously attached file in place of
7toolbar1.bmp (just find/replace in the .css and change to transp.gif). 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. Thanks!

Hi Mike:
Did you try using this .GIF file I included in my Win7 x64 Theme which uses
the Alpha Channel that IE9s adoption of the RGBA color space uses? Also,
you might want to try all black (RGB: 0/0/0).

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.
