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
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653
