Thank you so much speed however i have 1 question do you recommend changing it manually or through Windows 7 Start Orb Changer v4 by =Kishan-Bagaria on deviantART?
Speedgamer never mind my previous question i used the changer program however i now have 3 questions/request
Again i know these are nit picky things but i would really appreciated it if you could answer/attempt them
- Could you please try making the effect of the "hover " icon bigger because from were i am sitting when i hover over the button i can barely see the effect
- Second I cant get the image to work if i save it as a bitmap i can only get it to display properly if i use the png (in the program) otherwise i get black lines. so yeah is there a difference
- Could you please try to make the same with the other logo, i just want to see how it will look like
Thank you so much

If you use it with the orb changer the best is to use pngs as far as I experimented it.
As for changin the image in explorer.exe, I am not sure how i got the bmp file that I have now, but I think I used the orb as a png with the orb changer and then saved the converted bmp file with resource hacker from the exe file that the orb changer created. Then I put the bmp into explorer.exe an viola! So i changed the native orb.
The orb changer creates an exe file in %windir% (forgot the name), and every time you start the computer it runs it as a replacement of the orb.
(I hated that an extra process is running so i tweaked explorer.exe and deleted the waste exe with the orb)
Thank you so much for your efforts and for creating the buttons but i have 3 more question.
(so does that mean that this is why the bitmaps don't work.
Which program is that you are trying to save it as a bmp in?
It is supposed to be black on the 1st 1 and white on the 2nd. The very first orb had a black glare.
loooooooooooool i thought it was natively bmp but the thing allowed to save as png hence the file type drop downSaving the image in an other format rather than it's original doesn't really make sense, since it is not converted to bmp like that.
Here is a native bmp, try this one
I had to zip it because the uploader said the file is invalid..
That extra exe (expstart.exe) that Kishan's Start Orb Changer creates is used to alter the resources of 'explorer.exe' in memory instead of editing the physical file. It's a fail-safe for Windows Updates, if explorer.exe gets replaced for any reason (update, SFC, anti-virus scan, etc) then you won't have to re-apply your custom start orb. Personally I think that should be an option in the application, and I think I have suggested it to Kishan before, but I haven't checked recently to see if he's decided to do that yet or not.
By default Windows uses a 32-bit BMP (RGBA), the Alpha channel determines transparency when it's applied as a Start Orb. Many apps (Start Orb Changer included if I remember correctly) will allow you to use other image formats, but you're less likely to have problems with applying a Start Orb that was saved in 32-bit BMP format to start with.loooooooooooool i thought it was natively bmp but the thing allowed to save as png hence the file type drop downSaving the image in an other format rather than it's original doesn't really make sense, since it is not converted to bmp like that.
