I don't have a name yet but some people might already know I am building my first theme.
In some section people asked if I could keep them up to date so I will do that from this thread.
I am bussy with the taskbar so this is all I have untill now:

At this moment I am doing a re-design on the thumbnails, did not really like them so fixing a few things.
I think that the v2 thumbnails are starting to look way better and close to sick!
I will post some pics of them somewhere later today.

For the clock I use a font called techno hideo, you can search it up at dafonts.
And for all the text I use a font called good times, for as far as I know that is just a default one.
for the numbers on the calender I use the default windows font called Segoe UI and that one I have set to semibold.

I said I would not do an update this weekend but I thought I have a few spare min so I will use it for a tinny update:
*srry there are no pictures cause, yhea just read on and you will understand*

As I said I started on the start menu, and I am having a lot of issues.
basically I thought it was an easy concept but cause of the strange not symmetrical way the start menu is built it is kind of impossible or a lot of trail and error is necery and then I doubt if it will always work.
So I created a new concept but also that one has its isseus also cause of the strange built of the start menu.
hope I can fix this tomorrow or so.

successfully or actually not sucessfull I got stuck.

But I pray to the masters that they can help me out:
this is what I want to have as my start menu, left green bar as all program button right green bar as shut down and tinny right button as extra shutdown option or how it is called.
59353
what I did for the top left or programs list as it is named in wsb, black is the selection I did and of witch I made a new document and saved as png.(final size of selection 95*170)
59354
then for the lower left or more programs as it is called in wsb I did the following.(final size of selection 200*70)
59355
and this is the result I get in my start menu:
59356

how I have set it up in wsb:
more programs*extended*:
sizing margins: 85, 114, 0, 0
content margins: 0, 0, 200, 70*think the bug is here but there does not seem to change a thing when I change the settings*
sizing type: tile*if I set this to stretch everything gets distorted and squeezed flat*
programs list*extended*:
sizing margins: 94, 0, 119, 49
content margins: 40, 10, 80, -1
sizing type: tile

any suggestions from the masters?
