[help] How do you add the 'Google' in the search box for the firefox theme safire?

does anyone know of a way to get the 'google showing up in the search bar without using photoshop (which i might add isn't possible as the image used is a stretched one)....it was done with the safari fx preview theme but now the edit (which was a chromedit mod doesn't work now....it was as follows:

#searchbar-textbox:not([focused=true]) {

font-family:lucida grande,sans-serif, lucida grande !important;

font-weight: normal !important;

font-size: 9pt !important;

color: #999999 !important;

margin-bottom: -1px !important;

}

#searchbar-textbox[focused=true] {

font-family:lucida grande,sans-serif, lucida grande !important;

font-weight: normal !important;

font-size: 9pt !important;

color: #000000 !important;

margin-bottom: -1px !important;

}

anyone know how to get this mos working with the safire themes?

Um yer it went in the userchrome with firefox 1.07 with the safari fx theme but now it no longer works as firefox has a different way of displaying the searchbar in ff1.5

If you're referring to the magnifying glass icon, just replace google.gif in your searchplugins folder with the attached image.

I believe this chrome edit was for calling on code in Hill's safari theme, that's why it doesn't work in safire or 1.5 themes. When I last looked at Hill's code, there was something about the searchbar in it that I couldn't figure out how to migrate to a 1.5 theme because I don't have coding skills.

Oh, and showing any text in the searchbar textbox isn't hard because it really doesn't need to scale. Just add text on the unfocused png and no text on the focused one. It's just that when focus is lost on the bar again, the photoshopped word will re-appear behind the typed search text and look bad. I did this before and changed it back on my safire mod.
