Ugly text on searchbox.....How to 86 it?
Sunday, February 20, 2011 by 2of3 | Discussion: Windows 7
This showed up after the latest windows update (the text "Search programs and files")
Anyone know how to get rid of it?

I cannot update. I download and it says successful. Then when I turn around ( 
) it says I need to download my windows updates.
So I am now thinking this is good.

I knew there was a reason why I haven't updated....still running 7.1 for both WB and SKS.
He means Microsoft Update not WB Update, MJ I have confirmed that the text is still there without Windowblinds activated (plain Aero)
Strange that some have it and others don't
OOPS! 
I didn't catch that! Well, I don't have that ugly text on my blinds...running Win7, 32 bit. And I have all the Windows Updates installed.

The text has recently started showing up on my Windows 7 - 32 bit.

Seeing the text on my Windows 7 64 bit system.

That works great on a VCR but not so well on a PC.

I know this is gonna sound strange but if its 'just now' showing up on some systems maybe a scan for bugs is in order. You may have done it already but if not .... won't hurt.

It's not a virus bug or anything like that Uvah, it is from an update from Microsoft. Why they chose to add it I have no idea, or maybe it was supposed to be there all the time and they fixed the issue. Either way, it's really no big deal. I have Windows 7 32 and 64-bit, and it occurs on both machines.

Strangely enough, Tom when I applied your skin Anon, the font size was smaller. I would really like to know what setting is controlling the text size and font

The font size was smaller where exactly?

Tim I have a thought, did you upgrade from vista rather than a clean install?
Reply #34 Wednesday, February 23, 2011 8:14 PM
FYI I updated from Vista, have all updates installed and still do not see that text. I thought SP1 might bring it on but it did not.

Well so much for that thought. I had upgraded from vista and then did a reformat to win7 later. there were a sufficient number of differences to be noticed.
me to, seems I was also spared, it's a mystery.

That's why I suggested a bug. I have all the latest updates and no text there on any skin.

I'm running Win7 32bit and I have that text now after a windows update.

It should also be noted besides the size change that some text is regular and some is Italic. This depends on the skin you are using. Just change and try some and you will see the difference. Look at the standard Microsoft skin. Windowblinds may not be causing this but somewhere in SS people are changing the size, etc. I just don't nkow anything about SS to try things. I did notice one other thing with different skins. Some or at least it appears have changed the text color to the color of the search box and then you can't really see the text. Looking at others maybe some are just changing the serch box color and its much harder to see the text. It's not a big deal but funny how somw have it such as me and some don't when we all keep out machines UTD.

I wonder, not all updates are important. I usually only choose the important ones and select carefully (I hope) those others that are just recommended. There were some win7 updates that I chose not to download.
I know that every time I update my audio I have to go back and reset my speaker types.
