Sidneyboy -- Can you post a screenshot of your problems? I can verify this works on Vista Home Premium, WinXP SP2, Gentoo & Ubuntu Linux. I wouldn't see how it would work in VHP vs VHB.
I love the new themes Google has added, but I wasn't fond of certain things (namely the input, tabs, etc) getting in the way of good artwork. So I modified certain parts of the page to be transparent so I can see all the goodies :) I am currently using the Springscape theme although this script is compatible with *ALL* of the Google Homepage Themes so far. *Current Script Size: 3.95 KB (4055 Bytes) **(New! Check Out Userstyles.org - Zathman's Redesign)**
UPDATES:
* v1.4 * 25 JUN 2007 (Minor) - Temporarily disabled the tab height I set due to some google updates
* v1.4 * 27 MAY 2007 (Major) - Rewrote/Organized code, new styling features & formatting, fixed old code.
»» * 1024x768 * http://links.zathland.net/styles/ght/preview/1/ | http://links.zathland.net/styles/ght/preview/2/
* v1.3 * 25 MAY 2007 (Minor) - Fixed formatting misplacements caused by new code in the Universal Bar.
* v1.3 * 23 MAY 2007 (Minor) - Small style/formatting tweaks to the top "Universal Bar"
* v1.3 * 16 MAY 2007 (Minor) - Fixed script so the page would display right. I'll tweak more with this...
* v1.2 * 15 MAY 2007 (Maintenance) - Several new style edits and modified how links act when hovered.
* v1.1 * 14 MAY 2007 (Minor) - Expanded "more »" Tab, revived the Footer (it is transparent now). (For Chris Davis)
* v1.0 * 08 APR 2007 (Minor) - Google changed how the footer is displayed, so I killed the footer.
* v1.0 * 06 APR 2007 (Minor) - Fixed the "more »" Tab & moved it below the Google Search button (For ukegirl).
* v1.0 * 04 APR 2007 (Released) - Released version 1.0 of my Google Homepage (using a theme) Transparency Edits.

Awesome script, one of my favorites. Ever since Google introduced themes, I was always bothered by that ugly white bar at the top of the page.
Have you had a chance to test it out with FF3 yet? Not sure why, but it has shifted the placement of the search components to the left of the page now that I've upgraded (on two different XP Pro machines)

Excellent! I like what it does to the Beach theme :)
Only one thing should still be done... apply transparency to the tabs! That would make it worth 5 stars :)

This has great potential and I downloaded it as soon as soon as I saw it. Sadly I use Vista Home Basic and it doesnt work. Not only does the search bar not become transparent, the Google logo is surrounded by a white box. Please can you do something about this? Rating is a sad reflection on this but I look forward to updates.

looks nice, but there are a couple of snags:
- footer text / links disappear completely
- the more tab does appear below the search box, but it is not big enough - 'even more' is off the end of the box

Well done! Thanks for being so responsive regarding the "more" tab
