.....I don't want a BLACK orb. I want a transparent/Glass orb.

I wasn't even going to comment on this! But I found the perfect solution for you. Go and buy a nice transparent marble and stick it on your monitor! :huh:

(Manners you can't buy though!)
LOL
we had the same idea :D

@ Cam - only PNG image formats supports transparency as far as i know.. but the start orbs only support BMP image formats so... try to lower your expectations :)

Correct, once the patch is install, you are right to go,

Tell me about the theme you trying to install.

cheers
xxrazor

It all depends really because I am\was trying to get a few different themes to choose from so I can see whcih one i liek the best.. specially if I can find something with a killer background and cool icons... so I was jsut giving myself a variety to see what I like... becasue some pictures look cool but it isn't exactly the same and what not.. as I said I could rar up all that I have and u can take a look at them... Or I ca just start over and find some themes that will ahve everythign in them, as in the total changing of the windos, icons start button background etc.. I didn't everythign else you said to do.. restore point, reboot, install patch, reboot and now I am waitin hehe.. so I will delete all the themes I have and start fresh with themes so I can follow a step by step with you and get it right and be able to do it myself later ... :D

Ok, once you start with theme, let me know which one it is, also, please start new post as a How to ?, that way every one will know, i do not want to hijack this thread.

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

Thank you, I'm glad you like them and they look very good with the theme you have, as for the Library Icons, I could change those as well but do you have something in mind that you would prefer, is it the whole icon you dislike or just the image above the piece of glass, in other words, do want me to preserve the glass base and just put a better image on it that ties into the overall theme?

Base icon is super Libraries. If possible other icons of My Video, My Dokument, My Picture, My Musick. For them becomes a question.
Sorry, but my English is not very good. :)

* You can manually change them (Right click, properties, then it should be there some place) or use an app like TuneUp Utilities 2009, Winbubble etc.

* Yes they will, but you can replace them again with the icons you want to be shown.

:huh:
