    Taskbar/Start orb customization?


    Hi all,

    Can anyone think of any software that can customize the taskbar so that I can have larger start orbs?

    As you can see from the image, I would like to enable longer start orbs but cannot for the life of me find any


    Thanks

    Have a look at this it was made by one of our members StartOrbz v3.1.a by ~Blizo on deviantART
    I just tried it with a 100 pixel by 100 pixel image and got this.
    I use small icons to.

    Ok, StartOrbz is cool but it only applies to the hover state...

    Hover

    As you can see from the 1st pic, the ears are cut off but when you hover the mouse (pic 2) the whole image is present. I'd prefer that the whole image be present at all times
