HOW TO CHANGE YOUR START ORB :
------------------------------------------
Method 1 :
********
Use this tool to change the exe : Windows Theme Installer by Kishan-Bagaria
Method 2 :
********
add a "take ownership" shortcut to your right-click
[link]
and use the old trick by using the task manager, end explorer.exe, then browse and replace
Method 3 : (thanks to yayme)
********
[link]
Or you can use a resources hacker like ResHacker or Restorator in order to change the picture inside the explorer.exe (safest method !)
(C:Windowsexplorer.exe)
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 !

Hey, this is a huge favour to ask, but could you make a start orb like this one, ([link] ), but upload an explorer.exe file of it, I just can't find a program that works for changing the Start Orb except for the 2nd method you've listed. Sorry to bother you over it.

Well, there's no .dll here, it's only a start orb

No, but I think it wouldn't be that hard to make a hue variation of the bmp to choose the color you like

bout time with that small version
Still using the large one, imo one of the most usable startbuttons so far.

nice job!
now, I don't want to sound like a prick, but what's the state of Soft 2 (final) and a new icon pack you had said you were working on?
Will you release them eventually or should I stop waiting for them ?
Again, I know YOU DON'T OWE us anything, I just want to know if I should wait for any of them.

Looks really nice! Very minimal. Much better than the Win7 orb!
