Gosh I Loveeeeeeee this theme. I just miss the old Start Button so I stick with the old one...

/me wonders if he is allowed to hack the old start button into the new one for personal use

Read some pages back and you'll see the area where he posted the original white flag start button along with the new round start button and how to add it to the visual style. It's not very hard really. I thought it would be and felt stupid seeing how easy it is lol.

KoL is good on helping people out like that

I cant create that startbutton. I cant make the startbutton bigger than the taskbar.

I've seen a screenshot of a desktop with the button bigger than the taskbar.

I've asked the person about it, so I'm expecting an answer soon.

I used ObjectDock in that screemshot, which you can find at stardock.com.

Well I think its possible if you make the taskbar bigger and make some of the top pixel transparent with magic pink. That way you can have the effect that the startbutton is bigger than the taskbar. I dont think it will look goo becasue when windows are maximized and when you click the startmenu you will always have a transparent area above the taskbar.

Im just speculating, Ive never try that before.

I dont want that button in the themes for now. That's why I released the PNGs separated. I can make the PNG and you can import it using SkinStudio but you'll need to wait becasue right now Im working with university stuff that I really have to finish.

*****Warning!***** This is only for n00bs at changing the start button! No offense KoL, but your guide on how to change the start button wasn't to great. If you download LClock then click on LClock properties. Then click on the tooltip saying "Other" and right there, on the first line it asks if you want to change the startbutton bitmap. Make sure you have the startbutton saved as a .bmp. Then, click on the "..." button for browsing around, find your alt. start button, and whala! Your start button has changed!

a more of a white title bar, maybe even make the toolbar like that as well, i just love these shots of vista :woot: , the new shellstyle and caption buttons make it look very slick.

Hi Kol, I got WB5 just to use your skin :D It's AWSOME! but still buggy. I as wondering if you're taking feedback with things that are having problems?

If you are I'm having problems with a couple of programs, 1 being Bit-Torrent. Take a look at the progressbar. The numbers are not supposed to be there, also the bar will very frequently go pink then back to black,would this happen to be because of the flash streak thing you're using in the Windows progressbars? is it something that can be fix?

When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
