Thanks, Gaurav, for your answer. Although I find it's content most dissatisfactory. Why does Micro$oft make such things? OK, maybe it's not "modern" anymore, but should the user not have the choice, what she/he wants?

My urge, to change to another OS gets stronger and stronger.

By trial and error I found out, what fits my needs best: a pic that's 70 pixels in width and 50 pixels in height; this 3 times gives a pic of 70 x 150. It fits nicely into the task bar and is still recognizable.

Thanks again for your help

Hi, Ivo, Thanks for your reply! But in the link you provided it says: "A custom start button requires an image that contains 3 distinct parts - one for the normal state of the button, one for the hot state (when the mouse is over the button), and one for the pressed state." And where do I ...

Hi guys, When I try to alter the "Start"-button, I only get a very narrow picture as a result. When I keep the mousepointer over it it rolls a bit upward and gives me the text I want to see. What's the best format for a png-file to be used as start-button, so I can see the whole pic? _____...
