thanks. it looks like you are the teacher around here so here is another Q 
speaking about the Menubar what are the - Aqua Root Menu (caps) / Aqua Root Menu (Fill) Aqua Root Menu item (Caps)...that i have notice in themes that include MenuEnhancer like SIRO 2.0 for example.

Those elements are only available with Shapeshifter and guiKit. Manually working with the extras.rsrc allows only the stock *flat* elements to be themed.
Menu enhancer enabled....
Standard resources.....

Im trying to do the same thing that you obviously just did successfully. So, questions.
1. How did you modify "Search.bundle"
2. My menubar icons still have the old menubar background, what do I change to fix that?

go to "Show Package Contents" for the Search.bundle and then you use photoshop to edit the picture. it was pretty easy once i figured it out.
i dont remember having to do anything to the other menu bar icons...hmmm...let me get back to you on that.
