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?

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
