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!

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you.
