A couple of questions
Hello.
As you can see I'm new to these forums, and I have a few questions.
I'm certain they have been asked before, but I reckon it's faster to just ask them all in the same place. I hope you guys don't mind.
First of all: I have created a custom themepack based on the game Battle Forge.
This themepack consists of sounds from the game, some wallpapers, a script for changing the login screen.
Simply put it's pretty decent, if I may say so myself.
However, it's lacking a couple of advanced tweaks which would make it awesome.
I would like to customize:
-The "textures" of the windows, start menu, etc.
-Start menu button. (Orb?)
-Icons.
I realize that all this might be a bit too much for me to handle on my own, since I'm not very good at Photoshop.
My current problem is that I don't know how to change all this stuff.
I found a program called Windows Blinds which can change your windows theme.
The problem with this program is that not everyone has it, and I would like to make my themepack "independent". -Using simple .bat file scripts for changing stuff.
To begin: what I first need is to know if it's possible to somehow change the start menu button by changing some key in the registry or something? If yes, I would like to know how.
I also need to know how to create a custom button, what file format to use, size, etc. -A detailed tutorial for this would be great.
I will continue with questions about icons and whatnot when I've finished the start menu button.

Ask me if I was unclear on some point.
Help appreciated. =)
