I have changed my font in localsearch.css:
.txtfld, .clock
{
background: #000000;
font : calibri;
font-size : 13;
font-weight : normal;
}
I put the chevron on the left and hid the "banner/logo" button in
localprefs.js:
buttonalign = "left";
bannerurl = "";
If I back those out it looks like the attached.
