If I'm doing this right I am basically building a website on my desktop, right? If so I think I have this figured out.

Change the body bgcolor="" to match the background color of your wall.
Add a style="" tag to your <input tags.
And lastly, lock web items to desktop.

or. create an HTML file similar to..

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>google search</title>
<style>
INPUT {
	background-color: #1E2731;
	border : 1px solid #465B71;
	font-family : Verdana;
	font-size : 8pt;
	letter-spacing : 1px;
	color : #C1CCD9;
}
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#1E2731">

</body>
</html>

Speaking of active desktop, Matt. I clicked the "download v2.3.1400" in your sig and downloaded a zip file, but I was thinking there would be a readme like in most people's archives.

Didn't expect to have to use search.

I'm lazy, I have yet to write a decent readme. I'll do it sometime this weekend and release a newer version with some new tweaks.
