I actually really like the way the pirate looks... Is there a way to add a differnt logo in there? or actually a link that has custom start buttons to look at? Or even a link to see if I can attempt to put my student photoshop to use and see if I can accomplish making something

Yes you can, with this particular one it has a layer, which entails a glass orb, under that you can replace the image, now if you wish to learn how you can go (Here) or (Here).

Pm me if you need a hand

It looks pretty promising So I am going to finsih burning it onto my disk and then installign it.. So I will get back to you on what theme I am going to load because I have foudn a really nice one that actually will work really well with your pirate start button.. I appriciate all your help...Its just this virus is eating me up So I will be back in a few hours... Thank you

I new you had a virus, those .dll we spoke of earlier did not make sense, once you have reload W7, reload patch i gave you.

Actually I got the virus because someone tried to open a keygen that wasn't really a keygen which caused lots of issues.. Although I am using the original windows 7 I started with so I am going to start from the beginning and do the patch like you said and go from there, I appriciate all of your help razor... Soon as I am done with my school assigment I will do the patching and restore point stuff...

the startbuttons were inteded for steel flash theme in Vista..
maybe the orbs could be ported to windows 7..

but i don't know what i'm talking about..

Those are really nice mate! They will need converting for it to be used in Windows 7. Let me know if you want a specific one converted?

Pierre, that is not possible The Orbs are EXE files, which i cant unpack, or do anything with (at least not with winrar)

Aha...my apologies! I just looked at the Jpeg file in the zip. Didn't check any further. Let me know if you find a way!

I think I found out a way to extract the bitmaps from the executables..

It seems we need this file

SteelFlash 100k.zip

Now after downloading the steel flash100k.msstyle
put the start button executable of your choice together with the steel flash100k.msstyle inside the same folder... after doing so.. open the steel flash100k.msstyle using restorator.. and under the image tree go to 471 475 479 to locate the start button images.. :)


NOTE: the images are in PNG.. so I think they won't work with windows 7 ? since windows 7 use BMP ?

err...
I don't know what I'm talking about again..

They just need to be converted
