    Great job! I like it, but is there any way to just show the background image, without the colored stripe in the middle?

    Thats exactly what ppl already talk about, you need a Image thats Twice as high as your resolution.
    But Windows will screw it up so you have to split the image into two sections so it will display proper.

    Read the posts a few posts over yours :)

    Please take a look a this picture
    The color behind the start logo does not have the same color as the rest of my taskbar.

    Hi again

    No, it is not the Classic Menu. I have replaced the Start logo with the one from Win7.
    Perhaps I can make some modification to the win7 files.
