Desktop-Squared — A Different ViStart

Description The Computer and Search buttons are non-functional as they require passing of arguement values (or have a different way of calling) and layout.xml won't let me do that. I would update this if I find a way out, or ViStart supports the xml better or if anybody tells me how to do it.
Comments are welcome! If you like this, plz it- it really means a lot!

Oh! Got it. You changed the coordinates for the Shut down and Logoff buttons. But how could you get the small icons beside the texts.

Sorry for this (very) late reply.
All the button images have their icons attached to them.

Question: Where is hits "layout.xml" you speak of? It doesn't seem to be with the ViStart I have. Is this included in a newer version?

Desktop-Squared In reply to doublecross256 [2008-04-09 13:19:05 +0000 UTC]

Actually, it is currently not stable enough. It was meant to be included in ViStart in the later releases, but hasn't been publicly released till now. You can get an un-edited version of layout.xml here- [link] . This is where I got it from.
Extremely sorry for the late reply, I have been very busy with school...

Oh, no prob, what matters more is that you replied Thanks, and I hope the block known as school doesn't affect your future projects. ^^

Desktop-Squared In reply to doublecross256 [2008-04-09 14:41:51 +0000 UTC]

Actually, I'm willing to be more involved in school than to be in my projects. There is nothing more important than school, for me, at least...

looks cool, any chance to make one that only enables the arrow next to the shutdownbutton and leaves the rest untouched -that would give us a new xp shutdown without the dialog ()

Sorry, but I didn't quite understand you... Are you talking of an auto-click feature on the arrow button? If so, it is possible to do that, but it wouldn't be functional.

tosbsas In reply to Desktop-Squared [2008-04-09 17:40:42 +0000 UTC]

No, I would like to have the vistastyle shutdown options -without skinning the whole menu like vistart does
