HOW TO CHANGE YOUR START ORB :
------------------------------------------
Method 1 :
********
Use this other tool to change the exe : Windows Theme Installer by Kishan-Bagaria
Method 2 :
********
add a "take ownership" shortcut to your right-click

and use the old trick by using the task manager, end explorer.exe, then browse and replace
Method 3 : (thanks to yayme)
********

Or you can use a resources hacker like ResHacker or Restorator in order to change the picture inside the explorer.exe.
(C:Windowsexplorer.exe)
Don't hesitate to ask if you encounter problems !!!
HOW TO CHANGE ICONS ON THE SUPERBAR :
First, place your shortcut on the desktop, change icon by : right-click > Properties > Change icons > browse..... > OK > OK
only then place this shortcut on the superbar,
and now it works.
I hope you like it !

It's Windows 32bits only ? It didn't work for me on x64... But the 2.6 version always worked on the contrary.

It works fine for me in both x64 and x86.

That's because I had to select : Replace By Editing Resources (not Patching Memory), and now it worked
I'll add it to the description.

So, now at each start, Windows said : Cannot load 6801.bmp, 6802.bmp, 6803.bmp, etc...
Even if I have changed the explorer.exe !
Please, how can I delete it ? Where does your app put its files so I could completely erase it ?

Please do the following:
1. When it shows the error, click OK for each error.
2. Run the tool and click Restore.
3. Check the Replace By Editing Resources option.
4. Change your start orb as usual.
Now it won't show the error any more.
