But fediafedia wasn't make orb working with superbar and new start button. Im trying to do working start button on theme but when I convert .png to .bmp type the start button is not working on explorer.exe.

I'm using the same theme but just a different start button, but for that start button you can't use the small superbar! So give me a sec and I'll convert it for you.

I am only getting the black icons to appear on some of the folders. I have checked permissions and ownership and they all appear okay. Any suggestions?



"Mr GRiM's Glossy Blue, Black Glass and Ultimate Icon Pack" Installer

With kind permission from Mr GRiM, I thought I'd make an install script to make the installation of the excellent 'Mr GRiM's Glossy Blue Icon Pack' a lot easier for everyone.

It's a couple of batch files that run without aid from any other third-party applications. It runs from within your current Windows 7 setup without the need to boot into another operating system or without the need to enter Safe Mode either.

You need to delete the Thumbnail cache, I think you can do it by running a disk cleanup, I think there is also the option to do it on CCleaner, I personally had some luck by setting folder options to never display thumbnails, I applied the options and then set it back again and found that the folders were all refreshed.

Hope this helps :)

I ran CCleaner to clean up the the thumbnail cache, and then un-installed and re-installed the icon pack again. Everything looks good now.

Thank You Sir!

Hey 1st time poster but have been browsing the forums here for the last few days. noticed the excellent work in here and wanted to make a request. if possible i'd like the orb part removed from this icon and turned into a start orb. Counter-Strike: Source Orbs by ~firba1 on deviantART (i'd like the black orb with white soldier)also wondering if there are others here that were chosen to host the windows 7 launch home parties. wanted to toss around some ideas for the "media mania" party theme

Could anyone use the TF2 logo (http://liti4.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/tf2_logo1.png?w=256&h=256) and make them into start orbs for me and a few friends? Requests are; that inside a black orb, that except coloured with shading in a similiar style to the windows logo, same as first except as big as the orb without the orb just a transparent background, same as second except as big as the orb without the orb just a transparent background.

EDIT: I tried installing Grim's Ultimate Icon Pack and it caused many problems, I think because I didn't extract it before I used it. Would it be alright to use it again?

Also some start icons on this thread look shrunk when applied, don't show up, show the taskbar line through them or shrink even farther (like the Start button in the style of XP, that one shrinks down to the size of the orb). Fixes?
