I use ResEdit (freeware by TGTsoft): just select the BITMAP folder after having opened LE4.msstyles, then find the startbutton image and click 'replace' in the image toolbar. That's it.

Everytime I try to replace the startbutton with the buttons archangel made, I get nothing but static garbage. If I change them to bitmaps, resedit bitches about them being a different extention and they could have adverse affects and if I attempt to save, it says it fails to open them? WTF!!!!!????

Dudes...youre wasting your time. Use Watercolor 4.3...it is SO much better its not funny. Youll use LE4 for a while and realize it is too garish for every day use...youll want something less harsh. So save your time and stop using it now. Watercolor is sooooo much better. It kicks LE4's ass. You know it, I know it.

Yep, actually ResEdit does complain when replacing BMPs with PNGs, but the result is perfectly the same. Maybe you sould try to reinstall it, if you are pretty sure to not have more than one resource opened at the same time.

I get the same error. When saving after replacing the resource, I get messages for each resource that it failed to open file.

@Mad_Griffith: I'm using your shell style now, nice work!

Great that you liked it

Great VS!  :cool:

I made a slight mod of the original start button for Windows XP Brazilian/Iberian Portuguese users (I put the word "iniciar" instead of "start")

Normal/compact versions (Black version only  :yes: )

em3 has done 2 portuguese "official" versions of the start buttons, and I made the compact versions of them also.

somehow ur shellstyle isnt linked with your msstyle, make sure theyre both in the same folder having the shell style in a folder along with the msstyle.

Ok here's what I got so far :)

and this is what I used:

1-) em3's Luna Element 4

2-) Kol's system tray arrow ( posted on this same thread )

3-) DoS's compact Start Menu ( Posted on this same thread )

4-) Mad_Griffith's Shell Style ( http://www.unprogged.com/neowin/ )

5-) LClock V1.61a ( Neowin )

6-) IconX free from Stardock ( For the desktop icons )

7-) On Display by Microangelo ( For changing the desktop icons text font color)

8-) Wallpaper from http://www.socksoff.co.uk/walls01.html

9-) I used Resource Hacker and ResEdit for the tweaking stuff.

Now I would love it if someone (Perhaps em3 himself ) would take it from here and make a full silver version of the compact mod :) I have been playing with Style Builder but no luck so far a little complicated and it takes a little time actually understand how to work with it, I'm willing to put upload this somewhere on request any takers?

    • Yeah, when I saw that, I wanted to find the nearest nose. You can't find a good nose these days when you need one.
    • Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with state-of-the-art coding capabilities. Due to the cybersecurity implications that would occur due to the availability of such a powerful model, Anthropic made it available to only a select set of companies around the world. The company's plan was to prepare appropriate guardrails before releasing such a powerful model to everyone. Now, after nearly two months, Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, its most capable AI model yet for general users. The company also announced Claude Mythos 5, the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with safeguards lifted, making it more suitable for selected cybersecurity and biology use cases. Claude Fable 5 sits a tier above its Opus models and it beats most other generally available models across areas including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running autonomous tasks. To prevent model misuse, when Claude Fable 5 detects certain requests related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, or model distillation, the request will be routed to the Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic claims that these safeguards trigger in less than 5% of sessions on average. However, for large organizations working on critical software, Claude Mythos 5 can be availed through Project Glasswing. Later, Anthropic has plans to expand access through a broader trusted access program. As you can notice in the benchmarks above, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are state-of-the-art on most key AI benchmarks and they are well ahead of OpenAI's frontier model, GPT-5.5. For example, Fable 5 is the new state-of-the-art model for vision tasks. Also, Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Another big change is that Anthropic is making a change to the way they handle business customer data for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The company will now require 30-day retention for all traffic on both first- and third-party surfaces. Anthropic promises that it won't use the data to train Claude models, instead it will use it against complex and novel attacks. Claude Fable 5 is available today on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It is also included at no extra cost for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise customers from today through June 22. After that, users on those plans will need usage credits to continue using Fable 5, unless Anthropic extends the included access window based on capacity. Developers can access Fable 5 through the Claude API using the claude-fable-5 model name.
