Lesson:101
- How to change your windows 7 start orb.
Instructions (Click to View)
First thing you want to do is download a Windows 7 orb changer.
There's is 2 types that I know about. One saves the image as a .png and let's you use it.
The other saves as a .bmp and automatically implements it.
I will give you the .png one. So download it HERE
Once you've downloaded that run the program as a administrator. Now you can play around and take a image and make it into a orb with different effects. I've posted a example below.
Note, You can also use the same image on all 3 slots. Or you can mix it up so you can have different images on Mouseover, Normal, And selected menu.
The choice is up to you on that.

^^-there's my made example. Yes, I made that one.
If your going to use that just save it as it is. Open the program and import it. Viola, it will work and be active once you click apply the current select orb. (Hand icon with a pencil like object)

Lesson:102
- How to change a theme in windows 7.
Instructions (Click to View)
First of all your going to need a windows 7 theme patcher, Click HERE to download the patcher I use.
Once you run the patcher and patch all three files successfully it will ask to restart. Let it restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Once your back on your computer after you let it restart find a windows 7 theme. I will be using Purity7 theme. Click HERE to download the theme I am using.
Once you've downloaded that theme. You need to do two things.
You need to open your "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes" folder.
Once that is open copy over all the files that are in the "theme" folder that you just downloaded.
Make sure you have the folder that has images/and what not in there then make sure the .aero style is out with the other ones. Like this

Once that is done. Now what you want to do is copy over the explorer.exe and other system files.
Here is how.
There is two ways to do this. Use a registy edit tool that I have that will grant admin control but it does not work all the time or a whole lot shorter method that I am fixing to post.
Now go ahead and open your C:\Windows folder and open a task manager then go to Processes and select explorer.exe.
Now go ahead and copy over the files and you'll see that it says you need permission then two buttons "try Again," "Cancel".
don't touch that end the explorer.exe process. (When doing this the taskbar will go away)
Click try again and then it will copy it over click File on the task manager and click new processes type "explorer.exe" and you have just copied over the explorer. So you should have the taskbar look from the theme, Now to get the rest of it right click your desktop and click Personalize. Click the theme that you added in the "Resources\Themes" the name should be somewhere in the middle. Let it load and you've just changed your theme
