Brand your Start Menu with a picture on the right panel.

thmstart.jpg


Use StyleBuilder
Open your theme
Goto StartPanel > PlacesList

Edit the StartPanelPlacesBackground.bmp
The bmp original size is w 224 x h 6
Resize this bmp to w 224 x h 190
Do not change the width.
You can do trial & error with the height size
depending to the height of the picture.

Copy & paste your picture onto the resized bmp and save

Next look into Properties Panel on the bottom of StyleBuilder.
You will see list of properties.
You only need to change 1 item of the properties.

Sizing Margin:
original setting is
left: 172
top: 3
right: 7
bottom: 1
change this to
left: 1
top: 1
right: use the slider > put this slightly left of the picture
bottom: use the slider > put this slightly above the picture
(you will see the slider as lines in the picture to the right of properties panel)

Next Action > Compile & Apply . . . your done.

Enjoy

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
