Description Yes, I figured out a way to get (Vista styled) tooltips in ViStart. The tooltips pop-up on the bottom buttons and also on things on the right menu. I also found a way to make ViStart open up Control Panel when the user pic at the top is clicked. In the screenshot above, you can see the tooltip on the Lock button. I will release it soon... I need some permissions

Are you going to release this anytime soon?

No, I'm not working on it anymore. The large number of images slowed down ViStart and tooltips are not just that great...However, I've spent a lot of time with layout.xml, so if you need any help with it, just tell me.

Too bad... =\
PS layout.xml is not full there, Lee said future releases will have control over almost everything!

Sure!
I am not into programming, so all I could manage is a "skin trick".
But maybe you can do better things with ViStart... why don't you talk to Lee?
