Loving this theme, except for just one thing: the start button.
Is it possible to have the Vista orb back, please?
I was so pleased when Vista came out and removed that stupid 'Start' word from alongside the button.
'Start' is such a silly word to display. Imagine the conversation: "How do I shutdown my PC?" "Hit the Start button" "No, I want to stop, not start"

Any chance you could provide a version of this that just has the Vista orb and removes the word 'Start', please?

^^ You can edit the msstyles file in Resource Tuner or Resource Hacker Beta version and then replace PNG file having Start Button with the default one having Start ORB.
