it would have been creative if there was an explorer.exe for this theme. The Startorb but instaed of the Win logo in a blue orb, in an orange orb.
same with the royale...would be better if the explorer had the orb a lighter blue

I guess it could have been a little bit nicer but then again, coding is hard! And making a start button is even harder because you need a program like photoshop which costs quite a bit

Actually, I got Photoshop for free from a link a friend gave me. :) There are ways that you can get Photoshop, like sharing the disc it comes with.

Yea but its so hard to get it besides if someone has a disc that person must be super rich cause of the cost photoshop is. I prefer gimp anyway =D lighter on resources and has almost all the features PS has

PSHAW you don't NEED photoshop to do new start buttons...and you don't even need to do the coding to replace the start orb (you of all people should know this already Vishal...I'm shocked, lol).
Google up Windows 7 Start Orb Button Changer...there's TONNES of results for it, but there's bound to be something come up with a download link (I'd provide it, but I forget what it was!). It does a decent job of it too.
I loved the Zune theme when I had XP, and although I do like a heap of 3rd party themes (I have a favourite called Midnight and Midnight Glass respectively), and it's nice to see Zune good to go on a 7 pc/laptop.
