Windows 7 Start Button Animator is a free portable tool that allows you to set an animated start button in Windows 7. You can set any animated gif image as your start button.

How to use:
  • Run the tool. You will now see an animated orb instead of the old unanimated orb.
  • Click on the orb icon in the system tray:
  • Click on Select Orb and choose your desired GIF animation.
  • Change Image Style to the style that best matches to your image.
  • Change Taskbar Position to the position of your taskbar.
  • If you want the tool to run everytime Windows starts up then select Run on Startup.
  • Click Apply.

  • Troubleshooting:
  • Why does the start button appear on top of a video?
  • Select Video Mode in the Settings.
  • When I close the tool, why the default unanimated orb is not there?
  • Click Restore Orb in the Settings.

    "...gif files are the only ones that can be animated."

    There is also APNG you know? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG

    Kishan-Bagaria In reply to Guscraft808Beta2 [2018-01-08 08:52:50 +0000 UTC]

    Nope, it modifies system files and Windows 8/10 is very different so it won't work.

    Quick question : When I run this without administrator, I get an error, but when I run it as administrator it doesn't auto run. I can give the error if needed.

    Make sure your antivirus isn't interfering with app. Disable it, click the startup option and enable it again.

    I'd love to use this to animate my start orb, but after downloading the archive from door2windows and extracting, the .exe file delets itself and I don't know why it does that. If I happen to be fast enough to double click the .exe file, I get an error message saying the .exe file does not exist and after that the file vanishes again. Other programs like the start button changer work fine. Is there any solution to this?

    Disable your anti-virus and try.

    and before you ask, I tried redownloading the file several times and still the problem persists.

    Kishan-Bagaria In reply to GizmoTheGreen [2010-09-04 09:06:46 +0000 UTC]

    This program just replaces the start button with a blank orb. After that it draws the GIF image on your taskbar.

    I Had this bug agers ago and wanted to tell you it, on 64-bit Windows 7, i ran as admin and the default animated orb showed up, but the windows didn't! I was lucky to get it off the screen as in Task Manager , the software called Orb showed up and i ended it, then it went. Just wanted to say
