I'm disappointed with this release; V4 is amazing and the compact alt.start version has been my default theme for as long as it's been about, yet this release is full of lots of little annoyances and as a whole just doesn't gel... the start button for the blue theme is just hideous. NEway, I still think you're a great artist and look forward to the next release - I hope it can be as good or better than previous versions.

ok, but i have only changed those buttons in the screenshot, cuase there all i use:

Make a copy of the shell32, use resedit to open the copy, and replace each of the bitmaps 204,205,214,215. then save and use the replacer to swap it with the original... then reboot

thanks to Han_Solo :)

some strange thing:

Black Compact + Normal (font) = Normal Start Menu

Black Compact + Alt Selection Color (font) = Compact Start Menu (should be normal i suppose as there is compact start menu option font choice)

(( same for Blue Compact ))

i really like this style!

the thing is i want to use compact windows style + normal start menu

I couldn't edit my last post.

But i'm going to make that compact startmenu normal (the one that's called Alt Selection Color) :p

So if you want I can send it to you when i'm done with it Suicide.

I prefer the alt start button from LE4 (the "abstract" white winflag--sorry, can't think of a better way to describe it). Anyone know where I can get a version of it that would work for the compact/black substyle of Le5? Or is there a way I can extract it from the LE4 msstyle using ResEdit? I'd like to make a run at using ResEdit to change the start button in LE5...

I'd like one of those suckers too, cept for the Normal Black, not compact.

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653
