Is that the original button ????

Are you looking for the original Windows 7 Start Orb...? If so, you can extract one from the explorer.exe file (using Resource Hacker for example).

I don't think i can make this button, smaller.
Maybe i'm lucky to download one,already modified and smaller.
That's why i said " i have the default DPI settings, my resolution is 1920 x 1200 "

If you're using the default DPI settings in Windows, then the Start Orb image will have to be 54x162 pixels. The image inside the orb defines how 'big' your button looks when it's applied to your task bar.

If you have a look at my Start Orb tutorial here (How to Create Custom Start Orb Image) you'll see detailed instructions as to the image size and how to set the size of the button in the end result.

Yes,i understand you,but i don't have Photoshop.

Oh, I see. Well, the same basic ideas can be used in MS Paint.net and Gimp.. Which are both free programs. I didn't cover the differences between the three apps because I don't have them installed, but any photo manipulation software that supports alpha channels or transparency can be used...

Now i use Paint.Like here : Imageshack - paintx.png
How do i resize them,like in this link ? Imageshack - 30674488.png
