Ok, I updated the program. A lot of changes made.

StartOrbz by ~Blizo on deviantART

Would you also like code for the new TaskDialog's used in Vista/Win7 instead of using the ancient and ugly MessageBox or msgBox dialogs?

I know how to do it. But its buggy. 8 times out of 10 it works. The rest it crashes telling me there is a problem with the taskdialog api. I used MSDN code.

I dont think its using the right resource offset since it left my Start Icon like this:

Can you open up your explorere.exe and see if all the bitmaps are there? StartOrbz resized the images to fit THE OTHER images that dont get modded by W7SBC. Thats why my images are way biggger.

I wonder if thery are there but just "blank" images. Please let me know.

So 3 releases later. Any other issues not discussed so far? comments? Requests?

I wish I could see some creations made with StartOrbz!

If you used the code found on the MSDN site, I posted it, It needs updating but I dont have access.

Thanks a lot. If you got updated code, then yes I give it a try. I was disappointed I couldnt use it here. Trust me I thought about it. My fix involved reverting back to the old msgbox's when the api failed. Now that was ugly. Got so used to those nice taskdialogs.

Thanks again.

Looks good. Will try this.

First encountered error: changing color gets it stuck to black and it stays there unless you return to home.
2nd: crashed when applying

Other observations: IT'S FREAKING COOL! if it worked :3

Will do more testing and give out more info after I rest first

Thanks!!

To remove the effect, you should be able to "uncheck" the desired effect and it will clear everything out for that effect and reset the image back to normal. When you go back to home page, all im doing is auto unchecking any effects.

About applying. Can you give me system specs? So far I noticed most problems are with x64.

Again thanks for the input.
