Customizing Universal Search Appearance?

Justam · Thread Author #1 03-12-2011, 09:23 PM

Is there a way you can customize the universal search results page from being a static white or a flat colour within theme builder or via the svg file?

When typing from the homescreen, the results page for US is a solid white unless changed via Theme Builder to a flat colour. Is there a way to in effect have the US launch similar to the stock os6? I am imagining capturing the user input and then passing it to US. I have tried assigning all the keys to US which does load US however it does not pass the key pressed through to the search.

Ideally I would like the search to be presented how it does when you actually launch US via a icon/button (with the opaque bg overlay).

Perhaps a work around might be to have a text box on the homescreen and when focus is on the text box it launches US??? This is dirty and not ideal I love being able to just type and voila! but I hate that white/flat colours!

any input is appreciated!

I'm not really sure what you're asking?

Could you post a pic of what you are getting?

When I open US in my themes it has the white text box up top and a transparent black overlay over the homescreen wallpaper.

Here is a SS when I just type from the homescreen:

Here is a SS when I click on my universal search icon/button:

I would like the top search to be just like the bottom. I haven't found an option for it yet, and I haven't seen it in any of the SVG,s using the temp hack....

This is using a custom OS6 layout with keyboard shortcuts off/Universal Search on, in theme options on a 9780.

Any idea?

Ya got me there. I'm runnin a custom 6 with hotkeys...so I turned on app shortcuts.
And I get the background when I click the app and use the hotkey.

Ya I have thought about doing it that way aswell but truthfully I really prefer using universal search from the home screen not only because you can just type straight away but you can also dial from the home screen.

There has to be a setting somewhere in the .svg's but I haven't came across it as of yet.

Thanks for your reply, I have seen a few of your themes and read some of the user comments to which I gotta say those theme appear to kick ***!

Thanks again.
