[DQSD-Users] Bar color, again

2010-10-07 Thread Michael Kairys
Hello all, Rather quiet is this list. I hope someone is still reading it :) I've 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 it's a light blue for some reason.

Hi Mike: Did you try using this .GIF file I included in my Win7 x64 Theme which uses the Alpha Channel that IE9's adoption of the RGBA color space uses? Also, you might want to try all black (RGB: 0/0/0). From: Michael Kairys [mailto:kai...@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010

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

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: #00; } .txtfld, .clock { background: #00; font :

Michael, Refresh my memory. Are you running Win7 32 bit? Are you using AERO? Reason I ask is that I am test installing Win7 32bit (my first 32 bit install, all others have been 64 bit) on an OLD Toshiba laptop. No Aero support. First pass install of DQSD has color problems as well but I am

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: http://www.vysa.net.dqsd.zip -Matt -Original Message- From: Michael

Yes Matt, I am using your theme.css (and grateful for it! :) I first tried globally substituting transp.gif for 7toolbar1.bmp and got a partial result, see attached. By further experimentation I determined: 1. The reason the effect was partial is body did not have a background specified; when I

What's your AERO color intensity set at? Mine is about 45%. Also, do you have Enable Transparency checked in your Window Color and Appearance Control Panel (Personalization)? Yes to both; my Window Color and Appearance loks just like yours. Weird. My Win7 (32/64bit) theme and yours look

Win7 Ultimate, and my transparency is fine... I tried sub'ing in all your files and got (1). Why the color is different I can't tell. I compared both directories and didn't find any difference that could account for it. I reapplied my customizations and got (2). I'm going to go with it - it's an
