Drugwash Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Here's an updated set of banners, hopefully you'll find common ground. Nevertheless, anybody is free to hack their own explorer.exe and replace the existing banner with any other in the package: downloadThe banner gallery has been updated as well, but it does not contain all the versions in the archive, so you better take a look inside before you vote.Enjoy!

Phoenix2104 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The modified No 14b is best imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROBLEMCHYLD Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I like 21F. The darker reddish (maroon/burgundy) is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugwash Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Why not present the user with the full banner gallery at installation time, let them pick their preference and patch explorer.exe on the spot? This way we wouldn't have any more complaints (unless they're really picky). Nevermind, I'm drunk - that'd be too much freedom, could go to their head.

This way we wouldn't have any more complaints (unless they're really picky). Nevermind, I'm drunk - that'd be too much freedom, could go to their head. Thats possible but a lot of work. For starters, we will need a sub menu with all of the banners listed and viewable so users know which one they are picking. Hell, this is better than what Microsoft has given us. So far the voters like 14 because its simple, clean, and it go well with the Win ME icons. It really does look original and authentic, I might even use it. I will be changing my banner every week. LOL, just kidding but I might once a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Well I've had this banner on Windows 98SE for many years now.I can't remember where it came from, but I suspect it was part of Gape's SP2.1a!Never felt the need for anything different.

PROBLEMCHYLD Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Well I've had this banner on Windows 98SE for many years now.I can't remember where it came from, but I suspect it was part of Gape's SP2.1a!Never felt the need for anything different. We all know I like to explorer. Just because something is handed to me and others like it, doesn't mean I'm suppose to be content with it, I'm sure others feel the same way. I want a banner with PROBLEMCHYLD, but I haven't figured out what colors or font style yet. Besides, I will like to get the SP users out the way first. Nice to hear from you too Dave-H Since Microsoft was too lazy to add Second Edition, we seem to be the ones picking up their slack If you notice, you can see Gapes version is base off of WinME and 2000 instead of the original Win98 version. He still did a great job. Edited February 25, 2013 by PROBLEMCHYLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmEE Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 This is my favorite variation of the Start banner. uSP 1.5 and some newer versions have this in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the icons situation. Edited February 25, 2013 by PROBLEMCHYLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svenne Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Cold mold on a slate plate, but here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?dw1b260aeic46feAlso, since you're having a vote on start menu banners, why not include the one I made a few pages back? Sure, it doesn't really fit in with the Windows 98 default style, but hey, it's optional anyway so we should be allowed to have some creative freedom .
