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).

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;

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:

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
