I found this mickey mouse head that I would like to set as my classic shell start button in windows 8. However, I have tried for the last 12 hours to get it to work and it just doesn't. Here is the file.

Any Start button shouldn't be a single image but must contains 3 states - hot, hover and pressed states. Like this:

You might find Stardock's Start button creation tool easy: http://stardock.cachefly.net/Start8BtnEditor.zip. If you are comfortable with graphics editing, use any free editor like Paint.net or GIMP and create 3 states of the image, on top of each other, save the image as a PNG. Once you assign the button from Classic Start Menu Settings, go to the "Start Button" tab where you can change the size to make it fit your taskbar's height. |

I'll make it for ya.  it's easy enough. Especially since I use GIMP 2 for making start buttons.

Okay, here it is. I hope you like it.  To download it, just right click it and save it to whichever folder you use for your start button images.

I love this!! I had to use size 50 for it to work with my machine but it looks awesome! I wonder... Should I want to make mu own, do I do it in any size (bmp) and just change the size in the program settings as I did for this one? |

Yea it can be any size .bmp just remember that the skin will be cut into 3 even horizontal slices.. Also a really large .bmp takes up more ram to use (this one takes 350kb) not a huge deal until you start getting into really high resolutions, or on really old systems |
