Re: [DQSD-Users] Web button graphics (attached)
Yeah, I also hide all titles and stuff on the taskbar, to get the maximum space possible, and I would never display a static image... However, a graphic (or short text) that represents the current default search method would be quite nice... For example, you could add a graphic for various search engines (like the Google or Download.com logo) or if the graphic for that search engine is not present, use the shortcut text (like "gg" or "av" or "freedb")... In that case it would definitely add extra functionality ;-) Sebastian Groeneveld - Original Message - From: Steve Poirier To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 6:52 PM Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] Web button graphics (attached) As long as you can hide it, like you can with the word 'Search', then I guess it is not a problem.

How about having a graphic as an alternative display format for the menu button? Would anyone be interested in having an image instead of ">>" (»)? Regards, Shawn K.

RE: [DQSD-Users] Web button graphics (attached)
If I am understanding it properly: The word "Search" isnt necessary with the graphic. IMO - the graphic should replace the word "Search" entirely.. The graphic could be displayed or not according to the users preferences, although I dont know if hotbot is allowing the user to turn off the graphic..

Hi Monty, > How does changing the word "Search" with a graphic of > the same size increase the amount of space used? You can remove the word "Search" by right-clicking and selecting "Show Title". With the graphic - it would take up the length of "Search" and the width of the graphic as well. Not that it makes a difference, but the graphic can be any size too - you could, for example, use a 20x16 image that relates to the search wizard, or you could use your own website logo - like hotbot does. When I made the mods I was thinking this could be used to encourage other providers to distribute it. Regards, Shawn K.
