If you are facing menu cut-off problem in Start menu, then take a look at this link.
Finally the wait is over. The impossible is possible now.

- You asked for Big and iconized taskbar buttons in XP.
And now with the help of this new theme "SevenVG Refresh" everything is possible in XP.
"SevenVG" is the first Windows 7 look-a-like theme for Windows XP and almost all other themes available on net are based on it.
This theme will make your Windows XP look-a-like Windows 7. It'll provide superbar, full start ORB, big iconized taskbar buttons in Windows XP. The problem of first letter being displayed in iconized taskbar buttons has also been fixed in this update.

Vishal it's and excellent theme and I'm pleased with it's outcome but 1 things bugging me. When i log off and log back on the theme goes back to my previous one and I have to keep re-applying the theme is there anyway to sort this out?
VG
^^ That's strange. Try to delete that other theme and re-apply SevenVG theme from Desktop Properties.
Malinion
I did that and it still does it, I have manually applied the msstyles theme and didn't use the .exe file provided. If I was you I'd offer that as a download

Great style VG, looks great and I can now have loads of icons on my taskbar.
One big problem though...
Mini-windows, such as Worksheet windows in MS Excel lose their text and buttons. This means that when you minimize them, their minimized form is really thin and it's very difficult to maximise them again. This happens in Excel and Minitab (a statistics program I have to use for uni). If you need any screenshots of this happening, you can email me or try it out for yourself.
If this could be fixed, it would be much appreciated!
