[help] Start Menu Mod
is anyone insterested in having differant marlett.tff
if u dont knw what that it it is the little arrow on the start menu, the exit x, the minimize line, ect. but mainly i meant the start menu arrow
i can change any of the images below
Hey nillinu looks very good! :staffs here:
Why don't use separators?
MENUITEM "", 65535, MFT_SEPARATOR, MFS_ENABLED
...and i think this can help you:
MENUITEM "Sh&ut Down...", 506, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
i dont use seperators because the real mac doesnt use them but just spaces, but if the consinsous wants it i will make it availble
also yes i knw that is it but i am looking for the actual res_id to shut it down imediatly without bringing up the choice of shutdown restart or nything
if u knw that of the restart, shutdown, or sleap plz tell me n save me time, and the ones from taskmanager dont work correctly (not all work for all )
i'm wondering if you ever got that complete list of numbers... i started playing with this last night, but like you, i would like the direct choice for restart, shutdown, etc.
Isn't it possible to link them to shutdown.exe + variables? Please excuse my n00bishness in this matter 
ya but we dont knw their resource id for this menu, there are several ones but so far none have seemed to work
the oddest thing happened to me... i did this mod last night, then when i booted my pc up this morning, i had no system tray, just a clock. thus, couldn't open trillian, change samurize config, etc... i had to do a system restore to get it back...
anyone know how that got affected by changing the start menu?
Ooops. Are you shour you changed the code in the right menu ?
Remember its #204. And maybe the code is different for different
versions of XP ? It worked fine for me 
that's the thing, it was fine last night, it was only fouled up when i restarted this morning... i don't know how it all of a sudden just changed that section?? oh well...
How do i install it? Unless you posted it already and i missed it...
If you want an install it will be part of flyakites next release
what version will be included with his release... the screenshot you put in on the first page?

Mhm?! I've Panther on PearPc and my menu use separators!

.... and when you click on shutdown, logout or restart, there is a dialog window (look at the image),
so you can use a modded version of msgina.dll and shell32.dll to make the XP dialogs close to the MacOs dialogs!
--> A little suggestion: use "&Log Out %s..." to show the user name after LogOut <--
ic alright GOOD that saves me work ill put it back to the menu, but none of them is going to be in flyakite, only the final
and yes it uses seperates but good seperators , the ones in xp are crappy and dark and bold

Nillinu,
I'm looking forward towards the final release of your startmenu hack
in Flyakite's new Sysmod version. I'm using a batchmodded version of Flyakite 5.1 right now. And WindowBlinds for the windows-skinning (left sided widgets...couldn't resist) :naughty:
OB is to heavy (& slow) on my current system, so a startmenu-hack will be greatly appriciated as that won't cost me extra resources, right?
Wish you best of luck in your completion of this great mod.

OK i changed it and I am almost done except for the Recent Items Menu, and Dock Menu, Menuitem Spacing
tell me what you think
204 MENUEX

}
are those restart, sleep, and shutdown numbers the ones that do the direct job, not going through the pop-up?
pop-up
actually, those aren't working at all now...
i'm switching them back to
logoff=402
shutdown=506
Sleep, shutdown, restart and logout items don't work for me. Wookie's numbers don't work either

Nillinu,
I've become way too curious to want to wait for the Flyakite v. 6
(when will it ever be out?)
I want to try your hack.
But I'm not quite an expert at this field, so... :smartass:
--> what steps do I take to accoplish it?
--> do I use reshacker? and then hack the Explorer.exe?
--> how? (what steps?)
--> also, what steps do I need to perform (a.k.a. back-upping)
to restore if it doesn't go as planned?
Greetings,
WiebeesT
#1. Make a copy of c:\windows\explorer.exe on your desktop.
#2. Open it up in reshacker. Go to menu 204 and just replace all
of the code there with the code that nillinu provided. 
#3. In reshacked click File > Save. NOT save as.
#4. Fire up replacer and type in c:\windows\explorer.exe or
watever the path is on your computer.
#5. Drag the replacement explorer.exe from your desktop into
replacer and press enter.
#6. Reboot and have fun.
P.s.
Donte delete the explorer.exe_original.exe on your desktop
that reshacker automatically created. You will need it if you screwed
something up

ifido: thanks for the quick & clear explanation.
Will try this today, will let you guys know how it works out for me
(or will be doing a full system re-install if I totally screw up, in which case it may take somewhat longer before I will be able to respond).
Whish me luck!
