I don't know how "big" could be yours, I use a button who is 90 pixels wide and 70 pixels high (total 211 pixels height) but I think there are bigger around. |

so i figured it out, but how can i change it so that the start button stays in place? like when i point at it the image wont move around. like before vista where it didnt do anything. |

You can try to use "align to the corner of the screen", it's an option in the button settings. About dimensions, I don't know what program you're using to edit the image, but in most cases doesn't matter, it's very hard resize an image so much, I tend to build them from scratch and use the image as reference. For the problem of the button floating, verify also you don't have some blank pixels on the side from where it's moving, maybe it's a question of alignment of the three images. |

Don't tell it to me...  I'm still using Windows 7, I have another partition with Windows 10 installed: I used it four times until now and I'm scared even to think to update it with the last version.

Uhh...you folks are aware there's a button size setting, correct? |

Yes, I'm aware, but I prefer not to use it and to have the correct size. It's a habit, I avoid to stretch images and lose details. I don't know if it's also the case with Classic Shell, maybe there's no distortion... |
