Press TEXTFILE> then find the one you want to edit in this case NORMALDEFAULT_INI, then press it until you see 1033 then Action>Save as binary source, save it as a TEXT.INI file, open it search for [start::button] and you should find it.

Didn't you see Game's post Ely?

That won't be a risk as long as he is the one who opens the thread (if you think about it, it is the same as this thread).

Yes, of course. If em3 is the "moderator" of the thread there's no problem.

May somebody help, please? :)

In StyleBuilder, click the start button, then change the "Right" value in ContentMargins. Smaller size will make the button smaller, and the other way around :)

You won't see the diference in StyleBuilder, you'll need to apply the theme to test.

Hey yeah I saw it now Im stuck in the middle I have got it done but now How do I replace the original .TEXT.INI with new one I modified and saved?

ResHacker is asking me for the following before allowing me to replace it:

Resouce Type

Resourse Name

and Resource Language

Thanks for helping guys.

Thank you DoS, I forgot to mention that I use ResEdit...

Found this in NormalBlackC.ini... Could this be what I'm searching for? :o

[Start::Button]
BgType = ImageFile
ContentMargins = -65, 106, 0, 0
FillColorHint = 74 153 73
Font = Arial, 1
ImageCount = 3
ImageFile = BlackC\StartButton.bmp
ImageLayout = Vertical
SizingMargins = 0, 0, 0, 0
SizingType = TrueSize
TextColor = 255 255 255
Textshadowcolor = 69 76 16
TEXTSHADOWOFFSET = 2, 2
TextShadowType = continuous
Transparent = True

Ok as Resource Type I just entered "INI" then as Resouce Name I entered: TEXT.INI and it allowed me to leave the Language field empty, Then I clicked on REPLACE and saved the resource, however after unloading reloading the theme the start menu size is still the same?

EDIT: Ok I'm just not being able to save the TEXT.INI file with ResourceHacker after modifying it , How exactly am I supposed to replace the modified TEXT.INI?

Ok thanks, I had also managed to get it saved with another program called ResEdit by TGTsoft however It indeed saved the changes but somehow the start menu is still cut out. I think there's some other string that still needs to be modifed.

Any other help would be appreciated.

Thanks Mad_Griffith and all the others who tried to help me, I got it, I was modifing NORMALDEFAULT_INI but since Im using the Compact option what I actually had to modify was NORMALDEFAULTC_INI its all fine now.

So you finnaly got my alt start to show correctly?

Getting better and better! But I used to like the minimize/maximize/close buttons more. If you really had to change it maybe you should make a button that cover the whole corner of the window, like in the Longhorn/Vista style! I think that would be nice! I know that you can't please everyone, but you could put lots of sub-styles, couldn't you? :) Hehe sorry I know I'm being annoying....

Thanks!

    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the format of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO.

    • I'm surprised they haven't found a way to fix that. As much as I don't like software wasting memory, a file manager is the kind of thing that makes sense to keep running in active memory for super-fast recall. I suspect that is why MS makes their File Explorer part of the main explorer.exe shell, so that it is guaranteed to always be running.
