    @nlgxzef I hope you can do tr-TR translation. So Turkish XP / 2003 can use this project in native language :)

    I wonder if there's anything else I can do to help on ViStart?

    I can fix the non-transparent tile Windows XP Zune's expanded Start menu. The trick to getting transparency right is to copy the same pixels (that are transparent) using the selection tool and stretch them until it touches the other pixels.

    Now that I have checked the startmenu_expanded images, there's no issue with opacity. The issue is in the code of Recent items on the right side of the transparent expanded start menu.

    You can continue with creating cool start button for XP and 7. I prefer XP size first

    For example on Zune / Vista Skins when you enter "jumplist" and starmenu_expanded.png is loaded then you can see non fully transparent background on recent files list

    @George King I wonder if the option to add custom entries will be added in ViStart's start menu, just like classic-shell, startallback, etc have?
