Win8 orb (black edition), a start orb for Windows 7, based on Internet Explorer 9explorer.exe for Windows 7 64bits & 32bits (build 7600.16450) and SP1 (7601.17514) included !
Do not use with another version of Windows !
BMP and PNG included

Windows theme not included : Soft7 2.0 by me and Clearscreen Sharp by ~K-Johnson
Icons not included : Token by ~brsev and kARΓ by me
Wallpaper not included : Groove by =kiko11

***
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR START ORB :
------------------------------------------
Method 1 :
********
Use this tool to change the exe : Windows Theme Installer by Kishan-Bagaria
Method 2 :
********
add a "take ownership" shortcut to your right-click
[link]
and use the task manager, end explorer.exe, then browse and replace
Or you can use a resources hacker like ResHacker or Restorator in order to change the picture inside the explorer.exe (safest method !)
(C:Windowsexplorer.exe)
HOW TO CHANGE ICONS ON THE SUPERBAR :
First, place your shortcut on the desktop, change icon by : right-click > Properties > Change icons > browse..... > OK > OK
only then place this shortcut on the superbar,
and now it works.
I hope you like it !

Hi!
those orbs are awesome, but seems im doing sdomething wrong here, cause the big size orb is blue on my desktop, and i guess it should be black, because the rest of the package are black.

Awesome Good, I like it very much, Thank you for your work ^_^
What is the theme that you use in Win8 Orb Big ? I think is not soft 7 is it ?
and what you use with speaker volume icon ? (at win8 orb (small arrow)) (i mean the program not the icon)
Thank You
GOD BLESS US

You should make a white version of these. They would look REALLY great with Soft7, just a thought

I just got a Windows update for SP1 and now my explorer.exe and explorerframe.dll or whatever has gone back to default so I need to change it back again, but I checked my version of SP1, it is (7601.17592) but in the read me it says only use the explorer.exe file with the exact same version of windows... will it still work or will you be doing an update?
Thanks

I don't have that update yet... but I'll update the files if I get it.
For having done that once without knowing, I know you can use an old version without creating much problem, at least none appear during the short time this happened to me.
For the start orb at least there are some tools on dA to change it without changing the explorer.exe, and there is still restorator for example to change the pictures manually inside your own files.

Thanks for the quick reply! I just used the older version explorer.exe and explorerframe.dll and it seems to be working fine (So far!)

lol could i have the png images please, its easier for me to use Start Orbz bc i can change from orb to orb profile
π: 0 β©: 1
in a way yes but actually i wasnt just looking for single-image png files. Start Orbs didnt like the multiple icons it looked very odd

Thank you very much
By the way, maybe I've been too negative ^^, I should submit it to Customizers, no ?
π: 0 β©: 1
you don' t check your messages, do you? Have you seen your position in #Customizers lately ?
well, if you are some kinda boss there.. don't! If you are just a member..maybe you act like one and submit it!
