I think I found the reason why I had no problems… I copied the wrong image! Hope you don't mind if I use your file, juniper7.
I don't have time to do it all over again. |

The "easiest" way is to create or edit a .theme. In Windows 10 not all colors can be changed and before or after, none of them. [Control Panel\Colors] ActiveBorder=50 50 50 ActiveTitle=5 10 21 AppWorkspace=155 155 155 Background=166 202 240 ButtonAlternateFace=0 0 0 ButtonDkShadow=105 105 ... |

I've to say that I don't remember having so much problems with other versions of Resource Hacker. I had to start from scratch many times due to a small change on the file and therefore I can no longer save the file.
I think the best solution is to upload your modded version.
Thanks for your help. |

I don't remember if I've already asked you before, does it "only" changes the style of the start menu, or it's possible to modify the shape/position of the elements? |
