Hello all

Found myself inspired to modify the windows 7 start menu graphics over the course of the last few days. Have met with reasonable success (after some frustrations).

Have found this site to be an excellent reasource thus far but im hoping fellow modders might be able to help take me one step further.

The "Logoffextended" image (as its knows in windows style builder) or simply image 805.png of the aero theme is shared between the search mode and flyout menu mode which are both different widths. If i was using a solid colour or even a simple gradient it wouldnt be a problem but my back ground image is more complex than that and ends up being stretched. honestly it could be lived with but its just not polished.

I have attached a few pics further describing my quandary. i have Restorator and Windows style builder and am using gimp to modify the images.

As a potential solution to this issue im seeking either to set it so there are two separate images (not sure how possible that is..) or to adjust the width of either the flyout menu or the search menu to compensate for the difference between them. basically to make the two widths the same. Any ideas?
