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 added it I got the whole thing
2. Whether I used 7toolbar1.bmp or transp.gif didn't seem to make a
difference
3. The relevant changes were to body and .txtfld, .clock, and moving those
to localsearch.css achieved the same effect.
I have never seen actual transparency...

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)? Sometimes, this gets disabled in the
Performance Advanced settings.

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:

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 (little

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
still looking at it (may have the wrong installation kit for Win7 32
bit....).

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 (little
magnifying glass icon) and make them transparent (alpha channel) as well.
If the transp.gif works, you may need to add a few colored pixels at the

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: #000000;
}
.txtfld, .clock
{
background: #000000;
font : calibri;
font-size : 13;
font-weight : normal;
}
I saw no difference from using transp.gif instead of 7toolbar1.bmp, i.e.
background: #000000 url(transp.gif) repeat-x fixed top;
It's not transparent but at least it's not bright blue :)

Subject: RE: [DQSD-Users] Bar color, again
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 (little
magnifying glass icon) and make them transparent (alpha channel) as well.
If the transp.gif works, you may need to add a few colored pixels at the
very top of the file to best match the embossed look at the top of the
taskbar (as seen in the 7toolbar1.bmp). I recommend you do all of this in
Photoshop.
Ive not installed the latest IE9, so please reply with whether or not you
got it to look better. Thanks!

Hi Mike:
Did you try using this .GIF file I included in my Win7 x64 Theme which uses
the Alpha Channel that IE9s adoption of the RGBA color space uses? Also,
you might want to try all black (RGB: 0/0/0).

Subject: [DQSD-Users] Bar color, again
Hello all,
Rather quiet is this list
I hope someone is still reading it :)
Ive 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 its a light blue for some reason. See
attached.
Please can anyone tell me how to control this. I would be happy to force it
to the same color as my task bar if I could; Ive tried putting colors in my
localsearch.css for .txtfld, .clock background but the color I get seems not
to be related to the color I put in, and it doesnt cover the whole area
anyway.
Any advice appreciated.

I agree 100%. Part of the erason I stopped actively developing public searches for DQSD was that it was near impossible to get changes to the site. I'm not a publicity hound, but I do like to have my efforts published when I devote my time to something like this. The current site is very "early 21st century", so is lacking a lot of features that should be available on most current sites. -Shawn > -----Original Message----- > From: Brent Beardsley [mailto:bre...@ya...] > Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2010 8:41 AM > To: DQSD users mailing list; tom...@mo... > Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] dqsd.net webmaster? > > Hi all, > > I think we should just have dqsd.sourceforge.net as the main > page - we can see if Dave will redirect dqsd.net back to > dqsd.sourceforge.net.

I've been using Win7 on my default desktop, and if it weren't for some very custom styles, DQSD wouldn't look even remotely similar to the rest of the taskbar AND be legible. I use a white font, for example, on a dark grey medium intensity toolbar. The white font alone was a challenge to get consistent. The important thing was to set the background to solid black (totally unexpected) since that's what the base color was. You'd think Windows would have been smarter about that, and asserted the background colors uniformly across the taskbar. Nope. I haven't had time over the last few months to toy with this more than a little, so haven't made any progress on developing a uniform "single style" that'll work everywhere, on every background color and intensity. My current workload is simply intense, BUT, as soon as one of these large jobs I have in the works is done I'll be able to spend some more time playing with that. I also intend to develop the XML settings stuff, but that's not really related to this. :) -Shawn > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Kairys [mailto:ka...@co...] > Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2010 11:48 AM > To: 'James Nix'; 'DQSD users mailing list' > Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] Still struggling with colors on Win 7 > > > Checking back over the emails.

I think we should just have dqsd.sourceforge.net as the main page - we
can see if Dave will redirect dqsd.net back to dqsd.sourceforge.net. I
changed the home page to dqsd.sourceforge.net, uploaded the files in
dqsdweb to the htdocs for dqsd project and it seems to work. Note, I
have not tried every page and every link - also you'll have to clear
your browser cache as the old index page on the dqsd htdocs site
redirects to dqsd.net <br>
<br>
I can easily change it back to the way it was but that way wasn't
working and I like the idea of having the dsqdweb files hosted on
sourceforge so that all the admins can mess with it and avoid the
problems we're currently experiencing.<br>

control of <a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"

<div>- There is a wiki (now defunct, apparently, I can't get to the

<div>If we could get the infrastructural problems sorted, maybe we
could kickstart development again, starting with a proper 4.1 release,
and then look into the various issues we have?</div>

reality is it's slowly dying even though many of us still use it daily.

There are problems which need to be addressed, such as the load time
when a new google is done, which is often a lot slower that doing a
search in the google bar in the open browser. I still get the startup
IE error. Shawn has suggested other things in the past which would
improve things: <a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow"

<br>
Some other ideas to continue the brainstorming:<br>
- turn <a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
href="http://dqsd.net">dqsd.net</a> into a wiki<br>
- add a proposed new feature
section (such as linking one "search" to different a browser, floating
toolbar, Logins with authentication code, etc) and let
people vote like on <a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow"

Lots of people out there work on open source software, dqsd needs more
exposure to get more users for that to happen. We can start that by
linking up the buzz we already have, e.g. adding links to posts such as
David Blume's <a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"

<pre>Hi,
Does anyone know who runs/has control over <a moz-do-not-send="true"
rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://dqsd.net">dqsd.net</a>? Is the domain still
David Bau's?
I am wondering as I would like to make a change on the
<a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
href="http://www.dqsd.net/contrib/">http://www.dqsd.net/contrib/</a> since a domain of mine listed there has
changed and will be expired in less than 30 days.
I am not a member of the -devel list so am just emailing this user list.
Maybe the access could be opened up and we could update the site?
Thanks, Tom.

Kim, No. "Matt's" DQSD Win7 Theme provides adjustable transparency (intensity) in Windows 7. I have now installed it on over 20 PCs. Attached are 3 screenshots showing the same Windows 7 Tint with a LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH color intensity in Windows 7. Note that the color tint chosen has no similar setting in the "traditional" DQSD XP color selection. On a low intensity setting it provides transparency and on higher settings it matched the Win7 Theme Tint setting. Perhaps someone else with Windows 7 installed can confirm this.

Michael, Checking back over the emails. Did you confirm that we (you and I) are using the same DQSD Win7 Theme pack developed my Matt? In Windows 7 on the Personalization>Windows Color page do ANY of the color or tint a or transparency settings have ANY effect on the color/tint/transparency of the DQSD Search Bar?

I took a look at theme.css (Win7 version) and saw it uses 7toolbar1.bmp to draw the backgrounds, and that turns out to be a 1-pixel wide column of black pixels with a two-pixel decoration at the top. So I made one like it using my toolbar blue. It looks almost perfect, except you'll note the light top-shadow is one pixel thicker over the search bar than the rest of the toolbar (fig. 1).

Hi all, I think we should just have dqsd.sourceforge.net as the main page - we can see if Dave will redirect dqsd.net back to dqsd.sourceforge.net. I changed the home page to dqsd.sourceforge.net, uploaded the files in dqsdweb to the htdocs for dqsd project and it seems to work. Note, I have not tried every page and every link - also you'll have to clear your browser cache as the old index page on the dqsd htdocs site redirects to dqsd.net I can easily change it back to the way it was but that way wasn't working and I like the idea of having the dsqdweb files hosted on sourceforge so that all the admins can mess with it and avoid the problems we're currently experiencing.

OK Kim,<br>
<br>
I did install the 4.1 beta and of course it works.<br>
The "notes" even mention "fixing" imdb or words<br>
to that effect.<br>
<br>
I always stayed away from v4.1 because it talked<br>
about 64b support but never mentioned continued<br>
32b support. I'm just naive enough think it takes two<br>
programs - one 32b, one 64b - which I have<br>
discovered is not true. I am not a software guru,<br>
for sure.<br>
<br>
I still have the erroneous result from "check for<br>
update ..." but that is a "don't care" - just a<br>
curiosity. <br>
<br>
Thanks again for your help along the way. I<br>
find dqsd to be a fantastic program and would<br>
be "lost" without it as I prove every time I go<br>
to friends computer.<br>
<br>

Right you are -- I double-checked the details, and the imdb fix went

You could get the 4.1.0.0 beta, which contains a working imdb search.
Hopefully we can find some time to get out a proper 4.1 release, the
