[DQSD-Users] error with beta 13
Hello, I think I may have been through this problem before, with a previous beta, but I'm not a hundred percent sure. And I don't know what to do about it (I think the last time another beta was released, and the problem went away). I did a clean install of beta 13 (turned of the toolbar, logged off/on, uninstalled, reinstalled, then rebooted, just to be sure). Now, when I try to open the menu, I get this error message: Line: 27 Char: 3 Error: 'undefined' is null or not an object Code: 0 URL:file://C:\Program Files\Quick Search Deskbar\search.htm I did a search through the mailing lists archives, but didn't find anything helpful. Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?

Re: [DQSD-Users] customization
John,
I just checked in a quick change to search.htm and preferences.js that allow
you to set a preference in localprefs.js:
/* Display help text setting. Setting this to false will cause the
'Quick Search'
* and 'Display ? for help' strings to not be displayed at all.
*/
displayHelp = true;
Let me know if there are any problems. (I know that I'm violating my
suggestion of no more features for the final 2.5.8 release... oh well.)

[DQSD-Users] customization
ok... here's one i can't beat.
i don't like there to be any text in my dqsd bar when i'm not using it. i
do not use it for a clock and i prefer not to even have the words "Quick
Search" appear there. after every new install i edit strings.js and make
the one section to look like this:
var QUICK_SEARCH =

de: "Schnelle Suche",
no: "Hurtigsøk",
nl: "Snelzoek",
dk: "Hurtig Søgning",

i would prefer to not have to do this every time i upgrade. is there any
way i can set a permanent override in localprefs.js?... or something?

I'm not sure how the themed buttons are drawn - the 'button' on the address bar is not really a windows button, so it's difficult to look like that without providing a bitmap. Funny enough, if you remove a lot of the style info (borders, colours, etc) from the DQSD button, it looks much of a Windows XP button, but it doesn't turn green, I'm afraid. >The grab I took is 150k so I posted it to Glenn rather than the list... >it's not so much a 'problem' but I'd like to make it fit more with the >XP look myself and thought others might find it useful to tinker with >(I'm not what you'd call a hard-core skinner!) It's a good point - I can see clearly from the screenshot what you're on about. Since the time when DQSD supported multiline, I've not used it in single line mode - I would say that it's actually broken in this mode, and should create a proper-sized, vertically centred box.

Re: [DQSD-Users] customising the look of the deskbar
if you right click on the thing to the side of the dqsd textbox (some have referred to it as the foot... it is usually to the left side of dqsd, but i think can be to the right by some option or something), a menu pops up. one of the choices is close toolbar. > "Close Toolbar" means right-click on the thingie at the bottom of a Windows > page, right? > --- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ ___ Dqsd-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dqsd-users http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=8601
Re: [DQSD-Users] customising the look of the deskbar
No, I know enough about HTML to be able to customize (just enough to be somewhat dangerous). I just screwed-up by uninstalling everything, rather than doing what you recommend below. "Close Toolbar" means right-click on the thingie at the bottom of a Windows page, right?

Re: [DQSD-Users] customising the look of the deskbar
the other possibility for Paul's problem is that he is actually using myprefs.js. if he is using myprefs.js rather than localprefs.js then the new install which would put in the standard preferences.js would default to looking for localprefs.js rather than myprefs.js. if this is the case rename your myprefs.js to localprefs.js. Paul also asked where is the upgrade button... if only it were that easy. by upgrade we mean... close tool bar, logoff/on, install newer version (uninstall should not be necessary) and open the toolbar.

Re: [DQSD-Users] customising the look of the deskbar
Like, duh on me. I *always* completely uninstall before upgrading to the newest beta version. That's probably why. Then again, DQSD is so integrated into my normal internet sessions (about 10 uses per browser session, minimum), I don't mind having to re-fix personal settings. I consider it to be a cute "feature".

Re: [DQSD-Users] customising the look of the deskbar
when i read paul's e-mail, i think the problem is it appears he uninstalls between versions. uninstall probably deletes all the files in the quick search directory. if he just closed the toolbar... logged off/on and installed new version (without uninstall) he should keep tweaks in localprefs.js and localsearch.css.

*Don't modify* preferences.js as this message pertained to 2.5.2 or earlier.
As Will said, you can now modify localsearch.css (create it if it isn't
there) to have the same effect. Here's a quick hack that might work for
your in your localsearch.css:
body { background: #215DDE; }
INPUT { border-color: #215DDE }
.mogobutton, .gobutton { background: #215DDE; border-color: #215DDE; }
.cal, .txtfld, .clock { color: #ff; background: #3980F4 }
.calgray, .calgrayhigh { color: #cc; background: #3980F4 }
.caltoday, .caltodayhigh { color: #215DDE }

Glenn - I'm mailing the image direct rather than posting to the list to
keep bandwidth down - please feel free to post onwards. I'm using Dave's
Quick Search Deskbar Version 2.5.7 (final) - April 1, 2002 according to
the About information from the >> button. I'll respond to Will's helpful
suggestions on the list
Cheers!

[DQSD-Users] Re: customising the look of the deskbar
localsearch.css vs search.thm - that makes sense, thanks >(You ought to make sure you have an up to date version of DQSD.) About tells me Dave's Quick Search Deskbar Version 2.5.7 (final) - April 1, 2002 Is that the latest? > What do you mean by 'shallower'? Are you talking about 3d effect, or >about the height of the window on the screen? Height on screen - I have a 2560x1024 desktop over two monitors which means I have toolbar space, and I have an address bar (for URLs) and the DQSD next to it: it's noticeably higher than the address bar and I can't drag the height of the deskbar itself; the font looks pretty small from the date/time - about 8 point - and the deskbar is much deeper than the depth of the text line, as is the go button. In prefrences.is //multiline=false; so it doesn't seem to be a double line > .gobutton. Currently, it uses the system colours for buttons and text, >which is the 'proper' way to do it to fit with the current theme - of >course there's nothing to stop you changing that... Yes, I'm using XP with the Luna interface rather than Classic and it looks like it's picking up the Classic look rather than the appearances scheme... > Some of us might need a bit of convincing that there's a problem >which needs fixing in this regard... If you post a bitmap to the list, >can you keep it to a reasonable size. The grab I took is 150k so I posted it to Glenn rather than the list... it's not so much a 'problem' but I'd like to make it fit more with the XP look myself and thought others might find it useful to tinker with (I'm not what you'd call a hard-core skinner!) regards Mary Mary Branscombe --- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ ___ Dqsd-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dqsd-users http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id01

Of course, you can change anything you want by changing search.htm, but that's really supposed to be the engine room, and any changes you make would be overwritten by an upgrade.

Most of that's in the .css file. Have a look at the style for .gobutton. Currently, it uses the system colours for buttons and text, which is the 'proper' way to do it to fit with the current theme - of course there's nothing to stop you changing that... >If you can point me in the right direction I'll try to >experiment and report back with some screengrabs and suggested setups Cool. Some of us might need a bit of convincing that there's a problem which needs fixing in this regard... If you post a bitmap to the list, can you keep it to a reasonable size.
