im running windows xp and i have always wondered if there is anyway i could create my own start menu (like change the colours and that) persides the default 1 microsoft provides. Does any1 know or know any websites
 
windows blind isnt free is it? also i heard most of the transformation type programmes can be abit of a resource hog?
 
There may or may not be a possibility that there could or could not be perhaps there are other ways to acquire Windows Blinds, if you know what I mean ;).

They can be a resource hog, but other than Royale Noir or whatever it was called I doubt you will find a customizer as versatile as that that is resource-efficient.
 
WindowBlinds uses no resources after startup, so I recommend it. I also use it. Hundreds, if not thousands, of different themes out there for WB.
 
As Trotter said WB doesnt use resources. There are 2 themes other than that out there. The Royale theme and the Zune theme.

Download Royale Theme for WinXP - official - Royale Theme - A new theme, potentially destined for Windows XP. Freeware - Softpedia

Other than that you cant jsut edit the Start Menu easily. You have to use a REsource Hacker and hack the UXTheme.dll and change things that way. The Start Menu is created as part of this and cant not just be changed easily.
 
i already have the roysle theme but i will check windows blinds out, thanks 4 the replies
 
the zune theme is also nice, but try checking out deviantart.com there are lots of startmenus/ themes there
 
Those are done by replacing the UXTheme.dll with the Neowin patch. ;)
 
i like the Zune theme, i just don't like the start menu button color, another theme i like is called VistaXP, but Microsoft took it down :(
