I have done some searching and I don't think it is possible to change the font on the start button. Sorry

[sebbe1991]

It is possible.. You just need to hex edit the .msstyles file

THANX A LOT BROTHER.

SORRY EDITING THIS POST

Sorry but i just finished my search on hard drive active partion.i have windows pro. built 2600 in my active partition ( on drive c:). but i cant find the file mentioned above. is this file on setup cd maybe in i386 folder.

i unhide my system files & system protected files too but cant find this given file.

if you use the standard luna theme it is luna.msstyles and it is located in %windir%\Resources\Themes\Luna

EDIT: But the easiest way is by using TGTSoft Stylebuilder

yes brother at the 1st search i cant find these files on my computer but then i download a 19 themes pack and this trick works for me i find a lot of winodws shell common dll files under ur mentioned folder (%windir%\resources\Themes\).then i try to edit 1 of these files in resorce tuner & i can edit these files there.

but can u tell me that in which programing lanuages these files have been written.

& most of all i think this is not a parmanet solution.im looking for a parmanet solution.

Anywhy downloading TGTsoft stylebuilder

yes i changed the font if u dont belive then c the attached bmp pictures. Mr sebbe1991 is a genius and also he is a v nice guy who share his experiance with others.

but 1 thing more this is just a theme file. what if i want to change the ui setting & want to make my own ui seetings with my own font.

EDITING MY POST:-

i think i have to give some detailes for these files that i forget to give so im editing my post

the 1st bitmap image pastart.bmp is the preview of my work that i have done.I changes the font in my language which is PUNJABI. may be u cant read that font beacuse its in my home town language.

the second image file is the orignal cut out of my destop's start button.u can c that its in english (may be in thomba font).i just change the text of it from start to naughty in this cutout.

So brothers as U guys can c that start button font changing is posible in windows Xp.but its not a parmanet solution becuase if some 1 changes the theme then the button also changed to its previous status.becuase this is just a THEME file.

So im looking for a parmanet solution.is here anybody knows about it more .
