    Windows 7 Classic Aero Theme


    OK, I would like to use the classic theme, but keep the start button orb too ( OR use the aero theme, but keep the classic style and 2 color styles on the top of my windows...) Is any of this possible? Just wondering...
    Thanks!

    Perhaps the others are unclear as to what you want to do? I know I am. You should be able to change start orb only if that is what you desire. Can you post some pictures of what it is you want to do? A Guy

    No!

    Actually that's not quite true. You could if you could persuade a visual styles guru to waste hours on turning everything in the aero theme back to classic except the start orb. I think your chances are less than zero!

    Or, the other thing that I said...which is to enable the start orb to be used in the classic theme? That would be easier...My custom start orb disappears if I switch to classic theme.

    Hi!

    I don't really understand your request because if i use a classic theme (i mean a non-aero, is that right?) i can use any start orb i want... ...

    My start orb completely disappears when I switch to the classic theme...Hmm...maybe its the windows 7 orb changer program I am using ( I should use res hacker I guess to change my start button and see what happens...)
    - I cannot do this right now because as of Monday my laptop was stolen in a break and entry robbery of my house...so...hmm...

    Maybe you are using the Basic theme, not Classic.
    Basic looks like Aero but has no transparency.
    Classic looks like Windows 2000 and as far as I know doesn't support start orbs. The start button is always a gray rectangle with "Start" written on it.
    You can post a screenshot of your start orb to clear any confusion :)

    My orb is the original classic start button =P For some reason , I just like windows 95/98 looks better than the newer versions of windows... so I try to keep the old looks of them. Is it is not possible to use a custom start orb with windows classic theme? Or anything that can be modified for me to be able to use the custom start orb I have?

    In a word ... no! Classic theme means classic start button.
