Use only a skins start menu

stealth os theme with gt3 start menus

Monday, July 10, 2006 by Zingy | Discussion: WindowBlinds

i currently use StealthOS as my main theme but have always liked GT3's start menu style. i was wondering if there was a semi-simple way for me to use GT3's start menu with StealthOS on everything else.

thanks

If you can use skinstudio it shouldn't be too difficult to import the start menu from a different skin, but you would have to take note of all the margin settings etc in the skin you were taking it from before you change the graphics of Stealth OS. If you are not a WB skinner it may seem pretty daunting, but any experienced skinner could do it pretty quickly if you ask them nicely. (But please don't ask me......no time, sorry)

Open the WindowBlinds Configuration dialog > User Overrides > XP overrides > enable "Always use the XP taskbar defined in...", and choose GT3 in the dropdown list > Apply Changes.

hehehe.... that sounds a bit easier. I didn't realise that would change the start menu too, I thought it would just do the taskbar. Thanks randy!!
