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.

^^ Please ignore this stupid ****** and help me with my problem above his post.

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.

[JustGeorge]

K, I got the colored start flag in :) Lastly, where did the alt tray arrow buttons go? I can't seem to find it anymore.

Looks beautiful! :cool: :woot:

Yeah, I got those right after the LE4 release. I don't know why I didn't remember of my fellow Brazilians around Neowin ^_^

[TCA]

but its still a good theme just wish there was a royale version

[Mad_Griffith]

It has a soft royale glass by itself... so there is no need for a royale version, imho.

I'm trying to use Vector's sexy startbutton with LE3 Normal Compact but it get's cut off. In Normal non Compact it's displayed perfectly. Anyone know what margins to change to get it not to get cut off?

how could when ever i mod the start menu flag, "the Common Tasks in Folder" becomes to classic? :wacko:

[family guy]

For whoever asked, the Trillian skin(s) will be started soon. There is also one for the Enhance Contact List plugin being developed by eh?one (the plugin is in beta though, so its unavailable right now)

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.

[JustGeorge]

DEFAULT_TASKBARTRAY_BMP.BMP, maybe?

No, no I meant where they are for download. :laugh:

Ok here's what I got so far :)

Link For Full Screenshot:

Preview It Here

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?
