ok i hate all the windowsblinds programs and what not, but was wondering if there was a way i can chnage the green start button to blue, without a bunch of extra crap..i have WMC 2005 and have the royal theme..i like it a lot..so any ideas?
 
it'll cost you a bit of time and knowledge for this but doesn't not require resources like that of WindowBlinds.

It may cause a bit of a problem with the Windows File Protection though because you'll need to replace Microsoft's UXtheme.dll file with a hacked version (which M$ doesn't like).
This will then allow you to customise your UI with any themes that you can find in various websites.
 
Download the patcher and run it, when file protection comes up, give it a 2 minutes then cancel and o.k., reboot and your uxtheme file is patched so you can run third party visual styles and themes.
 
Here is a little freeware program that allows you to change the name of the Start button to whatever you want. Kind of fun to mess with. No color change however.

StartBtn Renamer
 
Neowin has the patcher, and also has many very good themes aswell.

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???
