Hey good lookin'! :D What I'm trying to do is set up my girlfriend's new laptop with a custom Super Mario Theme. I've got all new icons, wallpapers, start menu, custom sounds, cursors, etc. Now in the Personalize menu, under "Window color and appearance," I can change only the color. ...

Is there a way to move that picture so that it sits alittle above the box? Right now the picture sits in the menu box. Thanks in advanced!
