Beautiful. I know it's been a long time. But you make it longer like XP. And make the start word bigger. Great looking.

It's not working at all. Kishan's start orb changer only looks for start orb files. Not .bmps ... I was really looking forward to using this. oh well

BMP's are already included in this ZIP file. There's no need for a PNG

Has to be said I love these. I really would have appreciated them being uploaded in bmp format too; although getting the 6801 using restorator took all of 3 seconds.
I absolutely love the concept, the look, and the colours. From install to today I've been using the small taskbar however today I revamped my VS and am using the large one again. That said a small taskbar version in the same mind would be great!
Thank you so much for sharing!

The only thing is, the orb is not wide enough.
Could you make an update where it fills the whole image?

If you have a program like Reshacker you could extract the bitmaps i think.
Reshacker is free.

Looks nice and this is a great concept, but you need to clean up the pixelation a bit.
Good job!

Yeah, it does seem edgy. Trying to improve it still. Thanks!

Sorry, I just spent all day doing some web design clean up - annoying pixelation keeps popping up. As I said - great job!
One way of getting rid of those edges is using a round brush to clean them. The marquees are ok but the edge pixels remain hard. With brushes, the edge pixels are usually softened to 75% opacity giving a smoother look. Also layer styles mess up edges easily.
ps. I really like your avatar/icon - very smooth!

Use an explorer.exe from another modification and edit that.
