Re: [DQSD-Users] DQSD-Users Digest, Vol 7, Issue 7
I've fixed httpinst to use the correct URLs for the new svn repository, and I've added a /list switch which will bring up the list of searches in the repository ordered by date. The latest is attached. Drop it in your %PROGRAMFILES%\Quick Search Deskbar\searches folder, and you're good to go. BTW, it would be *really* nice if httpinst would display only the searches that are more current that those currently installed... if someone gets a hankerin' to enhance httpinst. ;) Original Message From: Glenn Carr [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 7:38 PM To: 'DQSD users mailing list' dqsd-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] DQSD-Users Digest, Vol 7, Issue 7 Ah, I forgot all about httpinst, Brent.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Vista
Correct. Users running Vista will need to take the provided files and substitute them for localsearch.css and theme.css. Our installation should simply put them into the dqsd directory. Actually, the localsearch.css should be renamed to localsearch_vista.css before we make it available to folks so that it doesn't overwrite their own version. Those who already have localsearch.css will want to merge their customizations in with the provided css file, and then name it 'localsearch.css'. In my working with these, I found it best to copy the files to my own directory, make all the changes, and then copy them back under \program files\quick search deskbar. You'll get a couple of UAC prompts, but that's always going to be the case with Vista.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Vista
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.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Vista
Hi, Kim. Yes, my localsearch was empty before I started. The one thing that simply would NOT change in theme.css was the on the button. It stayed doggedly black, which doesn't work on a very dark grey background. I'll play around a bit more in a couple of days, when I have some time, and maybe I can get it all back to where it is done in theme.css. If I can figure out what is going on with the chevrons. I agree, that would be best. Then we simply ship the theme_vista.css plus the two bmp files, and folks can manually copy the theme_vista.css to theme.css and be done.

It seems the load order is: 1) search.css 2) theme.css 3) localsearch.css so localsearch.css should only be involved at the very last stage. Was your localsearch.css empty to begin with? Maybe this could be done entirely in localsearch.css?

Weird... I'll try and figure something out, but as I said, CSS isn't my forte. Nor mine. I wonder if there's a decent online reference for it. I'll have to look around. It's all a nuisance, of course, since I don't have a 64-bit dqsd to work with and only have one machine running 32-bit Vista. All others are on 64-bit. Give me a few days to poke around. I can probably sort something. Now that I've gotten pretty much everything looking at least reasonable, I won't have so many variables to deal with. I probably made too many changes at once and lost track of something. Thank goodness for gvim - doing all this editing in notepad would be seriously painful. Charlie. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
