Hi! Is it possible to make an option take the Windows emblem and the "start" word for the start button automatically from Windows? Since I am using non-English version of Windows I always have to paint the start button manually which is quite complicated. Also is it possible to allow the user to write custom text instead of the "start" word, for instance, just "Menu" etc.

If you use the classic button you will automatically get the word Start in your language. The text can also be customized.

Thanks! Is it possible to take the Windows icon also automatically or customize the thing without re-drawing the bitmap?

Well actually if one wants this to reflect the current Windows emplem, this is the proper icon:

%SystemRoot%\Branding\ShellBrd\shellbrd.dll, 1077

I suggest making this as an easily accessible option (by a checkbox).
