What I have done with the startbutton is that I have pushed the explorer.exe overlay (the flag and the 'start'-text) to the left so it gets invisible and added a cleaner flag and text. It looks better that way.

The only downside is that the startbutton might get cut off or get pushed a few pixel to the right leaving a gap on the left side. It shouldn't be a problem if you are using english version of WinXp though.

Here is the difference. The image at the top is the old button.

Looking quite nice. What about non-english versions? I threw your theme on my girlfriends Chinese laptop and she loves it. I'm sure she would like to use the updated version as well.

Edit: Nevermind. I didn't see your post from before. She won't care that it says start in English.

just edit the taskbar so the left side is the green for like 10 pixels at the end. so if the start button moves over it won't be noticed.

Can't do that since it will look really wierd when you hover the button or press it.

If anyone is using a version of WindowsXP that is other then english PM me and you get to test the beta.

Damn. I would love to give it a go on my girlfriends laptop, but she's in Shanghai right now. She wouldn't really know how to look for bugs either :p

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
