Sorry, that was supposed to say: IS there something so that he could just use those.
Yeah, the taskbar start button. He created one in Photoshop and wants to use it.
The back and forward buttons up top here in IE.

If I understand correctly... what you want to do is make a new start button and put it in an existing theme, for your own use? If so. then the easiest way to do it is with SkinStudio. Otherwise you would have to hand edit the UIS file in that particular skin.
Am I on the right track here?

ah, well, the IE buttons could be used by webblinds and I'm trying to find out what would happen if you *only* put a start button graphic into a windowblinds skin, but I think bad things would happen. There is an app out "there" somewhere which can skin just the start button I believe.

Exactly BoXXi but from the thread he started he's not using Windowblinds or anything. Just the normal XP skin and wants to use what he created in Photoshop.

DJ, yeah but I don't think good things would happen if you only had 1 graphic in a .uis file and besides you said there was no windowblinds. I wish I could remember the little app I was thinking of.

You could edit the standard "Luna" skin that ships with window blinds,(I think it is quite similar to the standard XP themes) but just change the start button.

Thanks BoXXi and werewolf.
I have informed him about WB4, Skinstudio and the possibilities. We should have a new subscriber.
