Aaaaa

Could be corrupt configuration.*edit* never mind

You can always just use a blank 1x3 pixel start orb image

I tried loading a custom msstyles from W7. It makes it look like the stock Windows 7 start menu, instead of the custom one. Am I missing something?

Reason not to buy Windows 8: because paying money for it or even using it (increase market share) rewards Microsoft's stupid decisions I'll even go out of my way to not only make sure people I know don't buy windows 8, and if they get a laptop that comes with it, get a refund from Microsoft. Sure, there are some nice things about Windows 8. But Microsoft needs to stop this nonsense. And it seems money is the only thing that will convince them at this point.

I uninstalled B4 and installed RC1 for all users, and discovered it won't add custom start orbs through the StartIsBackCfg.exe I found out it's because when it installs for all users and is placed in program files (x86), it requires elevated privelages to add start orb bitmaps to the "Orbs" directory. This is with UAC enabled on the first setting. But if I use "run as administrator" in the compatibility settings for StartIsBackCfg.exe, it won't open by right clicking the start orb and going to "Start Menu Properties". Only manually opening it from explorer works. Also, if you rename/delete items in the start menu, the start menu doesn't stay open (In Windows 7, it does stay open). Yeah, using HDD as sole PC UID is not wise it seems. I'll sort out this issue for 1.0 final. I think some programs use the MAC address of the motherboard's inbuilt wired NIC

Does it mean I can change the skin of the start menu using a custom msstyles theme from Windows 7? If so, how? That would make it perfect.
