BroChaos Veteran Posted February 3, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 3, 2002 does anyone know how some visual styles are able to hide the start button icon? is there a way to do this in stylebuilder? or is it something to do with the shellstyle.dll file? cheers, joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMan Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Just to be clear, you mean the start menu icon by itself, or the whole start button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted February 3, 2002 Author Veteran Share Posted February 3, 2002 the start menu icon, like just the little windows flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMan Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 I'm no skinner but I'm sure it's a piece of cake. Meddle around with StyleBuilder, also, do a search for a tutorial on customizing the icon, in which case, you'll make it a blank one. Sorry I can't be more specific, hopefully someone else will step in who's done it, like Faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whack Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 set the lefthand content margin to -25 and the flag willbe gone if you leave the image set to stretch you'll just have the textand the button will shrink to fit it. If you want to get rid of the text as well then set the left hand content margin to -40 and the start menu fontsize to 1 and then set the start button to draw trusize instead of stretch and then play with the right hand content margin till you see all of the button usualy 100-120 seems to work hope this helps some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatDude Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 A theme without StartButton? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whack Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 no not without a start button this just removes the windows flag and the text that says start so you can put whatever you want there instaed of the win flag and start text. this was used in QNXP to use a sunburst instead of the windows flag and the word launch instaed of start. It's also used to make a start button for aqua styles that are just the mac logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
