I think it's easier to make something "cool" on a background with darker colors. I was going through the thread trying to get something that worked and came to the conclusion that the bright colors make it way too hard. I want to do more but that won't be happening with these wallpapers. :(

One more VS added to the OP (Glass Onion)

They are really starting to look alike now...but this one is probably the best designed out of all of them. Very little things wrong with, works with all wallpapers unlike blend 2.0, which it looks VERY similar to.

Does anyone else have problems with the start orb changer? I've managed to change the orb but there's no mouse-over / click animation. Only the top image in the .bmp is displayed for any orb I select. When I revert back to the default orb the animation works as it should.

I can't say i've ever had that problem, no.

The orbs themselves have highlight/click animations though? I know some of them (like the token ones) don't.

By animation do you mean the animated transition between the 3 orb types? I just meant that the orb never highlights as it should.

The .bmp shows 3 variations of the orb, but mine always stays on the top image. Also, the edges aren't anti-aliased properly if I change to a custom one, the edges are messed up like if you try and resize something in MS paint.

I tried every one of them in the example folder that the program comes with, the problem was persistent.

It's all I've got left to do to make the desktop perfect, I really hope there's a way around it.

*edit* scratch them i tried all the default ones and they work fine...strange issue you have there. What version of windows 7 are you on?

*edit #2* are you on a higher DPI than the windows default?

It's a chrome theme so it's not actually wallpaper ergo why I didn't link to it like I always do with my desktop stuff (see my other post above).

EDIT:Link Here for Chrome Theme!

Ah sucks there's not actually a wallpaper, but I did find the chrome theme before by googling google theme by Cyborg :lol. Thanks for taking the time to reply though.

Yeah I saw the post before you edited and to test it out I downloaded some random ones I found on Google; same problem.

Here's an example of the artifacting round the edge:

This is apparent on every custom orb I select, though the original Win7 orb is smoothly anti aliased as it should be.

Hmm, how do I check my DPI, is that the same as resolution? My monitor is 1080x1920 and that is the resolution I'm on according the the Appearance and Personalisation page.

By the way, thanks for trying to help so far, I really appreciate it.

if it's a big monitor than the dpi might indeed be changed.

To check it you right click your desktop > personalize

then under "see also" (bottom left corner) click "display"

The default is "smaller - 100%"



Either way you can try version 4 of the orb changer: http://kishan-bagaria.deviantart.com/art/Windows-7-Start-Orb-Changer-v4-153001999

I personally think that it's a tad buggy though (that's why I don't put it in the OP) and can leave you with a corrupted explorer.exe, but it does have some fixes to specific problems the old one had, it may solve your problem. Just make sure you make a copy of explorer.exe (with the default orb) first, for a quick fix if anything does go wrong.

If something does indeed go wrong, you can fix it by doing this:

1. press ctrl+shift+esc to open task manager
2. file > new task > browse
3. browse to c:/windows
4. rename explorer.exe to explorer_.exe
5. rename your explorer.exe copy to explorer.exe
6. run it

if you aren't comfortable with doing that if explorer.exe gets corrupted though then it's probably best to just leave the orb stock.
