Title: Startmenu Search
Post by: Lan on December 06, 2011, 06:56:46 pm
Is it possible to resize the search box?
Content margins don't seem to do anything. Only moving the magnifying glass at the end.

Is it somehow possible to not make explorer and the startmenu share the same search properties/images?
Or is the best solution to leave it default or remove it from explorer?

Try changing the defaultpanesize:rect in Start > StartMenu > Panels > Basic > OpenBox

the values go as: x, y, width, height

thx

this plus some content margins at the place you mentioned and here:
Address, Breadcrumb & Search > Search > SearchBox > Basic > Normal > Active > <1>
did the trick

is it possible to move the text itself up by 1 or 2 pixel?

right now it looks like this(top): (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10460045/q_search2.png)

Does it not also move with the content margins?

I think Panda's right , try negative value in contentmargnis. example ( 5, 5, -5, 5)

Thanks so much guys.

Actually ended up redoing the search field from scratch because it didn't seem to work the way I wanted. Anyway I got it now thanks to your advice.

Just one last question regarding the startmenu.

Can I remove the grey line in the picture below?

Do a color search for #EDEDED see if you can find anything related to Search or Start Menu.

Thanks to both of you.

Pandas advice worked. The culprit was: Lists, Menus & Tabs > ListView > ColumnDetail
It's used in different areas as well.
See screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10460045/screen%20%282%29.png

Anyways next time I'll color search first.
