Hi; I'm very impressed by the Quick Search bar (as a user and a
journalist), but under Windows XP it looks just a little clunky and
chunky. Could you give some guidance on editing search.html to spruce it
up? I'd like to be able to make the input box itself shallower (I'm
running at 1280x1024 so
Mary,
What version of DQSD are you using? Can you send a screenshot?
Thanks,
Glenn

You can change the appearance by creating a copy
localsearch.css vs search.thm - that makes sense, thanks
(You ought to make sure you have an up to date version of DQSD.)
About tells me Dave's Quick Search Deskbar
Version 2.5.7 (final) - April 1, 2002
Is that the latest?
What do you mean by 'shallower'? Are you talking about 3d effect,
Mary,
Thanks for the shot (attached). I'd echo what Will said. Here's an old
message that shows some colors for the default XP install (I guess, not
using it):

*Don't modify* preferences.js as this message pertained to 2.5.2 or earlier.
As Will
Like this? Stretched across 2 19 inchers, 1280x1024, so I guess that's 2560.

when i read paul's e-mail, i think the problem is it appears he uninstalls
between versions. uninstall probably deletes all the files in the quick
search directory.
if he just closed the toolbar... logged off/on and installed new version
(without uninstall) he should keep tweaks in
That reminds me. I thought by creating myprefs.js, etc., I'd be able to
keep
the settings. Unfortunately, everything gets lost during uninstalls.
localprefs.js should not be overwritten during upgrades. Check the
filename.
But it does get overwritten, where is the Upgrade button? :)
No, I know enough about HTML to be able to customize (just enough to be
somewhat dangerous). I just screwed-up by uninstalling everything, rather
than doing what you recommend below.
Close Toolbar means right-click on the thingie at the bottom of a Windows
page, right?
Thanks,
Paul

if you right click on the thing to the side of the dqsd textbox (some have
referred to it as the foot... it is usually to the left side of dqsd, but i
think can be to the right by some option or something), a menu pops up. one
of the choices is close toolbar.
Close Toolbar means right-click

The installer is _supposed_ not to overwrite it. It will create it as a
copy of preferences.js, but only if it doesn't already exist.
That's what's meant to happen, anyway. Are you seeing

I'm sure Will means ' ... creating a copy of _search.css_ ... '
I did,

ok... here's one i can't beat.
i don't like there to be any text in my dqsd bar when i'm not using it. i
do not use it for a clock and i prefer not to even have the words Quick
Search appear there. after every new install i edit strings.js and make
the one section to look like this:
var
15 matches
