no problem
1- create a button in photoshop"40px x 100 for example"
2- now duplicate the layer of the button and add a gradient or change its color,
3- do the same work 3 time to have 4 buttons"normal,hot,pressed,new program"
4- save every button in a png file
5- the button you have created doesn't extend the start menu so replace the images in "list item" ,replace the images one by one
6- now for a button which can extend the start menu ,the images of the buttons are in "jump list list item left " and those with an arrow are in "jump list list split button right
so you have to do the same work

i can credit him for the idea although i thought to create an office vs before he made sonye, it is no problem ,but all the resources i used were made by me and you can ask him
also i don't think that it looks so similar

Taichou-Henk In reply to yacine29 [2010-03-25 17:18:20 +0000 UTC]

I think it looks like a blend between sonye and air glow
Still please credit him (by name)

If I may, I would like to use something from your skin (for personal use)
