More info?)
Hi Alex,
I've done a lot of this stuff... search for a prog called
"ResBuildInstall.zip" (I can email if u like). Install and run it. From the
file menu select open and navigate to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ and open
your current theme (Luna?). There will be a data tree in the left window,
expand the one called "Bitmaps" and find "STARTBUTTON_BMP (1033)" and click
the EDIT button. You can now change the colours in your fav paint proggy.
Then hit the REPLACE button (next to EDIT) and load your new button back
into Resbuild. Save the project and close Resbuild. Now just click on the
LunaX.msstyles icon within the themes dir and it will call up your
appearance properties page. Click the Themes tab and save out the scheme as
"Mynewsuperdoopertheme" (or whatever).
Not easy eh?
