The Win7 start menu is cut up the same way as in Vista

Interesting, once I get the slicing figured out, meaning I actually get the start panel right I will look at doing
what you said.

Thank you.

EDIT: Well it's not exactly the same as vista, close but not the same. Here's a colour chart I made for cutting
it up:

dunno about that user icon, never seen that before, if its bothering you just delete it, you can do that in the top panel section in extras, you can enable or disable it.

Well I was actually referring to splitting up the left and right panels. If I'd done it exactly as
the Vista example then I would have split mine down the middle instead of off setting the cut
to where the panels join and as this is my very first skin and hadn't been poking around
other people's skins yet I probably would have made that mistake. After looking at a couple
other skins because cutting it down the middle really didn't feel right I realized the cut needed
to be offset.

But it was your advice that got me really looking at that tutorial and enabled me to figure it
out in short order. Saved me a whole lot of hair pulling

As for the user icon, I just started a new skin instead of working off another one and it's back
where I wanted it... well mostly. Can it be moved around? I'd like to offset it to the right about
20pxs.

It'd sure be nice if there was an indepth tutorial with full illustrations explaining all the settings.
If there is, anyone got the link?
