Description
Another update by request: added black/grey/white versionsAlso added variants for small taskbar
Small update: Added wide version which looks pretty neat
5 colors for each variant are still inside.
--
And now for something completely different: Metro stuff
Made a bunch of Metro styled start buttons, to accompany Omnimo 4. I'm surprised to see nobody made these before. Pretty simple and useable (for me anyway). Made them mostly for myself, just thought I'd share
Comments are welcome!

The start button (every single one I try) is 2-3 pixels too high for my "small" task bar.

I am creating some ViStart themes, will you allow me to use your start orbs in them? Credits will be mentioned.

Well, you can use a start orb changer or do it manually. There are so many versions of explorer.exe that I can't keep them up to date...

Hi, I know how to do the following, because you included explorer files.
Could you tell me what settings do you export with from gimp or ps? flatten/merge and 16/24/32bit and their variables, do you export with black background or it shows up black after export?
Thank you in advance!

32bit BMP
It works correctly because it's a solid orb with no transparent parts.

thanks, I'm asking because I have a custom orb (see my deviations for a simmilar 1), and I am having trouble right now, but I'll restore explorer.exe under System32 ans SysWOW64 (pacthed with something) and modify only explorer.exe in Windows folder.

I think this is the right software for it:

Hi. Nice orbs, I like it) But I'm using taskbar in top screen and I didn't found 6809 image. Please make all orbs in top versions.

Wow, the best Metro start bottons ever, nice job.
I wonder if you can do the small versions for Topbar? , I really love them.

Great orbs Bro, can you make a small black version? it's the only color missing to become one of the best orb packs in dA.
Thx in advance!

Good idea, I'll get to it. Might as well make a white version too

Great one, as always! I've choosen solid orange, to be in theme with my Windows Phone! I just wish there would be a decent Metro theme for Windows... found nothing good yet.

Because no decent themer even tried making a metro theme yet. Don't worry though, this might change soon
(not hinting that I'm going to make a theme, by the way)

You really should, it'd be awesome.

I really like the look of this, but I dislike the default W7 taskbar height, but there's only 1 small option. Do you plan to expand the options for the traditional size buttons in a future version?
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't understand if that was saying it will happen, or a dismissal. Whatever the case, this is still cool.

I think you should know the difference between "okay" and "no"

Haha, alright, awesome. Looking forward to that, could become my favourite start button!

Oh, one more thing I just noticed: It doesn't work right if your taskbar's at the top of your screen. I assume it's a similar situation with side-taskbars. I fixed up the one I was interested in myself, but yeah. It's another thing that you could do for a future version lol. Although I think taskbars on top are probably a lot less common than small taskbars, so it might not be a big deal.

I tweaked it a bit for my own tastes.
Except now I just realized my FF button is one pixel too short, which means if I fix that, then the 1 pixel stretch I gave the start button is unnecessary... I shall tweak it some more!
But yeah, I think it looks best centered, myself. Which is also what I expected it was at first, going by the preview image up there.

And my current theme doesn't work well with it. Time to find a new theme! Ok. I think I'm starting to rant.

Excellent work Alex, I really like them

can you release ones that are a bit wider? This is incredible but because of its width it kind of looks weird in the task bar

Which color/variant do you want wider?
