Yeah you're right Belldandy:
I just located the Start Button ugly green bitmap. It's located in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Luna\luna.msstyles
If you open that file with Resource Hacker (download Resource Hacker here if you
don't already have it: http://www.rpi.net.au/~ajohnson/resourcehacker/) THen Goto
Bitmap/BLUE_STARTBUTTON_BMP you will find the ugly green Bitmap here... modify it
if you like, just make sure that the new bitmap file you use is the same height,
width, # of colors, and possibly file size.
(BTW, obviously this only changes the ugly green Start Button that is used with the
blue color scheme... copies of it are also in HOMESTEAD_STARTBUTTON_BMP, METALLIC_STARTBUTTON_BMP,
etc
Thanks for the clues Belldandy,
