Hello, I was wondering if any of you start-button specialists could possibly do something with this. I think this would make a great start button although I have absolutely no idea how to do it. It would match my theme colors perfectly and i think it would be a pretty good button that could be enjoyed by many. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :) Oh yeah, hats off to the creators of classic shell. I must say, it is by far the best start menu I've ever seen or used. The boys at Microsoft could learn a thing or two from you guys. Cheers!

I also made one with my crappy photo editing skills :D but removed the reflection since it was making the button too tall (to exactly fit the taskbar height, use size 39 for normal size taskbar at bottom with large icons, or size 81 for double height taskbar). If you use with the taskbar at the sides, you may need to adjust the size.

Here is a different version, that occupies a little more space but shows a reflection better... Its also properly masked instead of my Quick Selection in the first one

I like the overlay on the sides & corners

I use a double-height Taskbar, so the reflection works well on that..

Here is this Style Without Reflection as well, better for single-row Taskbars I'm sure
