Re: [DQSD-Users] IMdB issue
Kim, I did the UNinstall and ALL the files in /searches disappeared. I then downloaded and installed dqsd.exe v4.0.0.6 from the dqsd.net website. The same (old) imdb.xml is in that bundle and does what it says to do, but isn't the right "search" which as we know, should yield a specically called out movie. While I created a one liner for localaliases that works, I am not smart enough to edit the xml file. Perhaps you can point me on what to modify. Thanks ! !

Re: [DQSD-Users] IMdB issue
Very curious indeed. I opened that '02 file and it is doing exactly what the file says to do which isn't the right syntax to go straight to the movie typed as an argument. I'll do what you suggest and see what I come up with. This is pretty amazing stuff for me, more of a hardware guy than a software guy ! ! Thanx for your help.

Re: [DQSD-Users] IMdB issue
Kim, Thanks for your assistance. My /searches/imdb.xml file is dated 8/29/2002 ! ! Since I uninstalled and reinstalled dqsd.exe wouldn't the newer XML file have installed? I hope this is the problem ! !

Re: [DQSD-Users] Still struggling with colors on Win 7
> ... it looks like a mix of the Vista and XP Blue themes. Thanks for the hint, Kim; I tried a complete reinstall, applying the win7 theme patch before instancing the search bar, and now at least I have consistent results on both machines. The bar doesn't match my taskbar color but at least it is homogenous (see attached). > you probably need to dive into the CSS and adapt them to go better with the system look. What puzzles me is that other people (e.g. James Nix on Win 7 64-bit) seem to get a transparent search bar that lets their Win 7 theme colors show through. I could perhaps tweak the search bar color to match the taskbar color but (1) the taskbar is sort of a gradient fill rather than a uniform color, (2) if I changed my windows theme of course the search bar would no longer match, and (3) I haven't found, in my various poking, how to do that!
