i think ive tried the res_hack method ie/replaced bitmap etc, and STILL havent been
able to change the color. all i get is the start menu becomes "classic".
i think somebody mentioned here about the difference in filesize. probably true.
windows recognises this, and either;
(i) disallow it to be displayed (hence the alternative display of classic start menu,
in my case)
or...
(ii) the windows file protection (wfp) does not work for *.msstyles? i can replace
/ modify other system files (ie/ explorer.exe etc) with no problems but i've noticed
that the moment windows realises that the file's being tempered, it resets the *.msstyle
back to its original (i know this from the unmistakable file size)
..so has anyone had better luck than i did? i dont know anyone here who have achieved
this successfully. if you have, do post a screengrab of your start menu! coz i aint
seeing any, despite all the solutions suggested.
oh and i tried the unpatch .dll method too. didnt work either
